Hi Paula

I would want to talk with the vet about the handling of the April labs.  The reference range for glucose at Cornell is 71-113 mg/dL. Your glucose is low enough to potentially point to an issue.  Mishandling would affect the insulin too. Leptin can be  a good indicator of IR and should not be dismissed.

You are doing a really good job based on your clinical signs.  I'm sorry to potentially rain on your parade.  Have been in your position and made some bad mistakes based on labs that were not accurate. Just watn to make you that you investigate further.
