Welcome to the best place you never thought you would be.

The normal range is 50-120.

It is recommended not to give insulin if under 200. Post and ask for help.

Any number under 50 is considered too low and hypo protocol should be started.
If you show us the numbers you have been getting and what insulin you are using, we can be of more help.
 
Thank you for the welcome. I am afraid I have no numbers to give yet. I only had the recent results back from the vet today which was BG 24, prozinc will arrive tomorrow.

NOT recommended to give insulin if under 200?

are you in the UK or somewhere else outside of the states? It sounds like you are referring to 24 mmol/dl which is equivalent to 432 mg/dl.

The "don't give insulin under 200" is referring to the US-based measurement. If you are indeed outside the US, that equates to 11.1

in other words, you would not give insulin if the BG number is less than 11.1

This helps us to not pester you by asking the same questions (your cat's name, insulin type, date of diagnosis, etc.) repeatedly. We also have a link to our spreadsheet in our signature. We are very numbers driven. The spreadsheet is a record of your cat's progress. By linking it in your signature, we can follow along and provide feedback should you need the help.

Also almost all of us use human meters that's what our numbers are based on


Just to show you about the Spreadsheet
Don't be nervous about the spreadsheet
About the spreadsheet
AMPS - means AM Pre Shot the first test you take in the AM ,you need to withhold food 2 hours before testing so it's not food influenced

Units is where you would put how much insulin you gave
+1 is one hour after giving insulin if you were to test then that's where you enter his _BG number
+2 two hours after giving insulin. ditto
+3 and so on until you get to PMPS - PM pre shot withhold food 2 hours before testing

+1 same as you do for AM cycle

We don't give times because we are all in different time zones that's why we use the + numbers



You can look at any members spreadsheet to see what it looks like, it's at the end of everyone's signature just tap on it


If you need help with setting up your spreadsheet just ask we have a member here that will help you

I would also add to your signature what country you live in
You can let us know how many units of Prozinc your vet suggested to start your kitty on
There are a lot of many experienced members here to help you :cat:
