I am trying a better feeding schedule. Sienne wrote the other day
His nadir seems to be close to +6 which is 5pm and 5am. If I should not feed after nadir how soon before nadir and after nadir should I wait to feed him next? Honestly my civies can go all day without eating but not Mikey. He looks for food constantly.

You can feed Mikey until +6 or so -- you don't have to be rigid about it. You should definitely not feed 2 hour prior to shot time, though.
Mikey is probably hungry a lot of the time because he's not yet well regulated. Once he starts spending more time in the blues, his appetite should slow down -- unless he was a hoover before he became a diabetic.

He has lost some of his appetite since I got him and drinks A LOT LESS. So that's good. It's a combination or when he eats vs when my civies eat. I'm trying to feed them the same time I feed Mikey so he doesn't get "hungry" just because he hears/smells them eating. I don't feed him 2 hours prior to shot time. Someone mentioned that a while back. I tried to feed him +1/+2/+3/+4 today and just gave him a small piece of a wellness treat with his +6 test. I know I have read that when you test to reward him if it's close to shot time I give him catnip.
Since the past 2 weeks we have been in and out I have kept him with the timer food every 2-3 hours because I was fearful he would get too hungry. Once the new year is here I will be able to be back on a better routine with him, no long days/nights out. Luckily, I am able to make sure I am here for his shot. It's hard that it's at 11pm but at least I know I can be home. Around here if you miss a train or get stuck in traffic it can be hours to get where you need to be.
