Frodo had 48 at pm+3 last night. On the 5th cycle of 1.5U, after the one-time jump to 1.75U. I'm assuming that the 1.75 has little or no influence after that number of cycles, so this is a "good" sub-50. So we cut the dose to 1.25U this am.
Will watch him carefully today especially, as he has a history of going low the first cycle after a reduction.
He's not been eating particularly well, but I opened a can of Trader Joe's tuna cat food and he ate a good helping. Trouble is he shouldn't have just tuna, and he seems to have gotten turned off of Fancy Feast Classics. It's becoming a problem to find a food he really likes, and he needs to put some weight back on. Did give him some fluids yesterday - that seems to have helped his appetite some.

I wasn't watching the time, and didn't test until am+4. 37!! Of course he got some hi-carb immediately. Another case of him going low after a decrease.
 
It's not unusual for our kitties to go low on the cycle after a decrease.....the depot is still working at the higher dose! In some kitties, it can take up to 6 cycles for the depot to drain enough that they're only getting the new lower dose

But Frodo!! You really didn't have to be quite so dramatic about it!! Time to come up now!!
