Hi Shell and Pumpkin , I will not say much, but my Corky's Spreadsheet will speak for itself, go thru the dates any day, you will big drops, It took me a lot of fear and constant understanding that the yellow and big numbers were the best numbers Corky would be, when he would even reach 140-150 BG I would panic and start posting every one that would respond, especially when reaching AMPS/PMPS, today as you will see I am the happiest camper when I see all these greens and even administering the insulin on a 89-90 BG, It pleases me a great deal to see the Spreadsheet so green it means he's pancreas are healing, hypo is when a cat reaches under 50 the lemon colors then you react to your hypo kit, but the dark green colors are the best, the 175 is great, better than those yellow BG's, I hope all these numbers I typed do not confuse you, he's good that drop is normal, like on 06/27 that was a great cycle, the drop is nothing to worry about, and if you see the previous AMPS numbers they are not too different from today's if you count the BG's after shooting

Great! Yes, I can see the variances on Corky's spreadsheet. I easily fly into a panic too, so it's a challenge for me to overcome it. I will stop everything.. plans, sleep etc just to be sure. So, I figured I should try to understand what I should pay attention to vs what requires my immediate response to 
Thank you.
Your Hypo kit should include Karo, Medium and high wet food, but this is only if he’ under 50 or lower and the Karo raises the numbers quickly but not long lasting so when he’s at 60-65 or so I use the Fancy Feast Medleys Florentine 1-2 tsp it contains 9% carbs that’s as high as Corky eats in that case, Also example AMPSis low, I wait 1/2 re-test feed which is usually not the case sine he takes ProZin 12 hour expansion but the insulin as you can see kicks in between 9:30-10. So after +2 AMPS/PMPS the BG starts to get lower then 68-70 I give 1 tsp of the Medleys 9 % and re-test every 1/2 hour until is safe I would not go to sleep if Corky’s BG was anything between 140-150 now I go to sleep soundly on 79-89BG do not resource to KARO unless completely necessary 50 or under, rub on his gums and no high carbs if the same just raising the BG by giving a tsp at a time every hour is sufficient
Is Karo powerful effective? Such as, does it cause a huge increase? Or a gradual increase?
I think I’ve mentioned this to you in the past, but with Lantus, often when the +2 is significantly lower than preshot, it indicates an active cycle and more testing is required as the numbers may drop a little more quickly. By taking additional tests, that will allow you to monitor and feed to help slow down the drop. I’d feed some low carb food at +2 and test again at +3 and go from there depending on what you get at +3.
I really appreciate it. Thank you! I did not know a hypo kit also contained food.
