Now that I understand the basics, I figured it was time to move the thread to this channel.

I’m finally past the panic state now that I’m starting to see some lower numbers - Thanks to the advice from experienced members here.
I very much appreciate the firm pushes I got which made me commit to the change of low carb wet food.
(And also made me gain a lot of trust in the community when the advice worked!)

Now that I’m seeing high 300s for PMPS, I am slightly concerned about possible hypo while I’m sleeping. As of now, I’m giving food at AMPS, +6, and PMPS but think it’s time to spread out the meals alittle more and offer food 4 times a day.

❓Considering her nadir is at +4, I should be giving her a snack at +2, correct?
(Ordering auto feeders next week to make my life easier)

Also, I have to touch base with my vet soon and he really didn’t want me to use a human meter (I did anyways). He doesn’t have experience with owners using human meters.

A cat is considered regulated if BG is in the mid-200s mg/dL (mid-11s mmol/L) for pre-shot and in low 100s mg/dL (low 5.6s mmol/L) or double digits (U.S. mg/dL) for nadir above 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L)

❓So do I tell my vet that regulated on human meters is around 250 mg/dL pre-shot, staying around 100 mg/dL, with a nadir >50 mg/dL? I just want to double check this is correct as I’ve also seen that 68 mg/dL is considered hypo.

(For anyone checking the SS, I am pausing mid cycle testing due to extreme bruising on ears to try to help them heal, will resume once ears look better)
