Diggy was severly hypo from the ages of 7 weeks to 20 weeks to the point he had seizures. With many mini meals and sleepless nights it can be controlled. He still has sugar drops when he is stressed like last week when he went to the vet his sugar dropped BAD blood work showed sugar was way down vet was alarmed and hurried it all up and he was fine after eating. I do believe size has a lot to do with it. He is still a tiny (not quite 4 lbs.), but now will rest when need be and eats more so its more controllable. I found many treats between meals helps. I use cheerios, and gerber fruit and veggie puffs. Try using starch and carbs....its a slow release of sugar into the blood verses nutrical or kayro which produces a high then a low. In cases of noticable sugar drops the fast high is needed but for everyday, i use a more complex sugar. I suppose every dog is different and this may not work for everyone. Good luck!
