    Freya has an almost 2hr drive to the vet tomorrow just so we can learn
    how to check her BG.
    We have a tube of Nutrigel - does anyone know the carb content & would
    it be worth us taking it with us just in case…?
    We can also take a bowl & a sachet of ‘normal’ cat food, but if Nutrigel
    will work faster, I’m just wondering if this is worth considering as it may be
    easier to administer in a moving car.
    Thoughts, please?
