    So my cat's usual preshot numbers are 252+. Tonight he was at 207 and I remember reading the insulin directions that if he is under 200 then don't give the shot, so I thought it would be ok. But I started to think and look at his last curve, after having a shot, he dropped 163 points at +5. Now I am very scared that he might drop too much tonight so I am going to stay awake to test him. He is on Lantus, 0.5u, and has been for a little over a week.

    Do you guys think he will be ok or should I start taking precautions now to raise his bg?

    Hello, I'll see if I can find anyone to give you a hand. You may want to post in the lantus forum.

    Hi kurkitty,
    There has been a lack of forum members on in the wee hours of the morning.
    A well regulated cat is the darker green to mid level blue and even at a 163 point drop that would put Grey at 89 in darker green which would be wonderful.
    It is very scary when you are used to higher BG and haven't gotten to green before.
    You are welcome to look at Bear's SS which are a bit more erratic than Grey's SS because Bear is a terrific bouncer.
    I will try to message a member in Australia who is sometimes up for more thoughts.
