I was watching to see your number this morning. Start a new thread with your number and we will plan from there.

Hurray! Hurray! Now, feed him ( wet of course :mrgreen: )and see if he comes down again. (that will tell you if his pancreas is working)

It is looking great! I would feed him a couple small meals today to support his pancreas. We don't know if he will continue to drop on his own with no insulin, but we have fingers and paws crossed here.
Well there's some left in the kitchen in the bowls I gave them so he has some nibbles for awhile. How low do you think he should go & he he does go to low then I'd have to put him on some insulin today or no that would make it even lower right? Ugh.....I keep thinking backwards now. LOL

It is hard to get your head around especially when it is all new! He can't go too low if he is not on insulin. A normal cats ranges from 40-120 off insulin. We generally tell new diabetics not to shoot under 200.
He could climb some, but it is a real good sign he went down overnight. We just have to watch and see how he does. If he goes to 200 or below, I would just keep feeding the wet food and testing. If he would stay in the high 200s all day, we could possibly give him a mini dose - a drop of insulin - tonight.
It's up to him! We are just observing.

This Looks GREAT!!! What a difference the diet can make. Hopefully, Smokey will continue to come down today, as it sometimes takes a day or two to rid the body of all the extra carbs.
I really wish you would start a new thread. I hate for this diet change experiment to get lost in a long post--- there is a lot here that others can learn from! Maybe in your heading you could reference the diet change causing low numbers...and then either link this thread or give a little background on the high numbers on insulin, while feeding the dry food.
Go Smokey!
Continued Good Luck!
