[Cocoa12]

Ok so I am a little worried Cocoas blood sugar has dropped by 121 in 2 hours shouldI be worried here? He readings are as follows:

AMPS 443, +382, PMPS 398, +2 300, +4 169, +5 166

I recently increased his dose to 1.25 I just want to make sure this is ok and I am not freaking out.

That's a lovely number. If you want to slow the drop,you could give some low carb food.

Do get another couple of tests in if you can. The more information you have on how Cocoa reacts to big drops and food the better.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to test him here in about 10 min followed by another in an hour.

Thanks for the link I am reading it now!

I love the number just not the huge drop in two hours scared me lol.

A lot of times a big drop means that kitty is breaking a bounce. As long as the next drop is smaller, and kitty is not racing toward the deep end of the lagoon, no need to panic. Just feed some LC to slow them down. But know that a big drop, no matter how high the numbers involved, can cause another bounce.

It looks like you are getting closer to a good dose. Although it's scary to see a big drop, it's nice to see the blue numbers! A welcome change from all the pink and red.

Ya that is what I a afraid of is a bounce. His numbers are high this morning at AMPS 488, +2 480, and +4 428. Is this a bounce?

Is this a bounce?

I would say that is a bounce, although it's like his previous numbers. Good luck with the new dose. I hope you see some more blues soon.

Thank you. Do you typically lower the does after a bounce?

If he earned a reduction, you would. Cocoa will learn that blues are okay, and you will see more of them.

I am not familiar with what you mean by earned a reduction? I read that in order to right the bounce you should lower the dose. It said that the higher new does is confusing his body and causing it to dump more "sugar" into the blood. It was saying the way you correct it is to lower the dose. So I am a little confused lol.
