Hello all!
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted (and I know, I don’t have a spreadsheet, really sorry about that!) and that is because Bluu managed to regulate enough to be diet controlled! He’s definitely not in remission because my goodness if he manages to get into the other cat’s crunchies his blood sugar takes a wallop!
I did have one question that I’ve been struggling to find an answer to. He’s on a strictly fancy feast pate diet (has been since about March or so) and his blood sugar usually hangs out around the 84.6-102.6 mark (hope I’m doing that math right, just x18 on his numbers). I test him around once a week just to make sure it’s consistent.
However, as the weather is getting cooler he has had occasions, twice so far, where his blood sugar drops to around 59.4-68.4. First time I noticed it his head was shaking a little? Just gave him some of the other cat’s crunchies and he was fine.
But I was wondering if this is just a thing that happens sometimes? I’ve tested him on other days around his lunch time meals (which is when this happened both times) and his blood sugar has been fine!
Is it possible it’s because the fish fancy feast pate is lower in calories? He usually gets the chicken or beef, but sometimes fish is all they have at the store.
Appreciate any insight!
