We got the best nadir on 8/20 night.

+3 on 8/20 morning was not bad.

8/21 and 8/22 night seem to not as good. Are these bounces ?

8/21 night we changed to 8mm syringe (31g) instead of 12.7mm (29g). we are sure its not fur shot. Will the syringe cause a difference?

You should be using U-100 3/10cc syringes with half unit markings. The gauge of the needle depends entirely on you but I always found that a thinner needle (the 31g) was better. Did you switch to a short vs long needle?

I believe you are seeing a bounce.

yes it's still u-100 3/10cc.We don't have half unit syringe in Australia though

Yes we changed to shorter needle from long needle.

How long does bounce usually last?

Thank you very much.

In most cats, bounces last up to 6 cycles (3 days). However, as a cat becomes better regulated, the bounces may shorten up considerably.

I agree, looks like a bounce is likely. I'm seeing similar in Sebastian right now, when they spend enough time in the > 250 range, even a dip that's only into the upper hundreds is enough to trigger a bounce. The renal threshold (BG level where glucose appears in the urine) is usually around 200, so it seems like when they start to cross below that for the first time is when they'll start to bounce.

Thanks all. We did another +3 but still not look nice yet. it's the 5the cycle after the lower nadir. Fingers crossed for tomorrow BG.
