What is the difference between a cats BG and a Humans? Just curious so that I don't have a heart attack everytime I think it's to low

Question. Could that 18.1mmol/l from this morning count as a AMPS? Took it a 4.30 and he got fed at 5.30.

I guess it could count as the AMPS. How long after the AMPS did you shoot?

The normal range of BG for a cat is between 70-120mg/dl. It is similar to that of humans, I guess, maybe slightly higher. But there’s no need to compare it with a human’s BG.

The BG readings of a cat through most human glucometers read lower than they actually are (by about 20-30 points). The FDMB spreadsheet template accounts for this variation and has incorporated the BG ranges and color coding accordingly.

You need to worry if Thor’s BG drops below 50 mg/dl (or 2.8 mmol/L) on a human glucometer, post insulin, and boost it up with honey/karo/HC food.

After food 45min as he is a slow eater most times.

You don’t have to wait for him to finish his meal. If you see that he has a normal appetite and will finish his meal, you can shoot while his head is in the bowl.
Lantus typically takes a couple hours to onset, so you have time to get food into him.

Onset is the length of time before insulin reaches the bloodstream & begins lowering blood glucose. Onset begins around +2 for most cats, but for some can start a bit earlier or later too.
