I am really confused here as to why you would have to add 20 if you used a glucometer at home? All the readings you are stating point towards insulinoma, he needs a 4-hour fasting glucose test.

Somewhere I read 65-165 was normal, somewhere I read 80, which is right? The vet insists he has insulinoma. We feel his spleen everyday and it has been slowly getting smaller.
