I don't check into fdmb much anymore. But I have been watching streams of a rescue shelter with handling very feral cats lately. They seem to wrap...
I worked 8 hour rotating shifts, so I changed the dosing schedule each week. What I found that worked best for Boo and I, was scheduling one dose as...
Basically there just wasn't enough insulin left to get insulin from it. When I switched to new vial each time there was no noticable difference in BG...
I was on my third vial. The first two vials I used lasted 8 months each approximately.
I'm guessing your using the SLGS protocol as your not testing enough for TR. The SLGS is meant to Start Low and work to a dose that has your cat...

Here's a link that has a post by Jill&Alex in it(#17 in the thread) concerning hypos and meter readings. Champagne(the cat) had bad hypo symptoms at...
The high carb dry food should help keep the bg higher and longer than if you used the quicker acting high carbs like karo or fancy feast gravy from...
I would consider a drop of 40 or 50 to be a significant drop from 270. Over 100 is a dive. If your cat was feeling lethargic, it is a hypo event....
