SOMOGYI Effect Question

[Irish Pat]

Please see this link, im not sure if this is what is happening with Brady but it sure seems to fit the explanation on this website. https://www.merck-animal-health-usa.com/vetsulin/cats/somogyi-effect

Brady has never had this high of numbers consistently until he was given higher doses of insulin, I know bouncing is in play as well, but the way this site describes this insulin effect seems to fit what is happening to Brady, any thoughts????? After he has those real highs in the next cycle or two he is remaining flat with BG in the 300 and 400's. With the way the pattern has been going I have a feeling those are the type numbers im going to get today with him...Please, any suggestions or comments would help us, thank you​

Yes, I did sorta...I explained to them that I made a post on this portion of the site and also filled them in a little bit with what is going on....Deb and Marje did make some comments on his numbers before and gave some information......

How have you been, haven't seen you in a while?

Nice to see you too....Today is my grandsons 1st Bday party, doing a social distancing gathering for him, only a few people....turning 1 in this crisis sorta sucks...

@Sienne and Gabby (GA) might be better at explaining but somogyi effect gets confused with bouncing. There is little evidence of it happening in felines.

A little bittersweet since you cant hold him but ya know what? You made it this far without contracting anything and he did too!

I posted on your PZ page about Somogyi and provided Sienne’s comments. I’m going to look back and see if I can find one of her really detailed explanations to link.

@Irish Pat

Here are some threads for you to read through about Somogyi:

Somogyi and bounces

Charlie’s Thread Regarding Somogyi Note: this thread has a lot of good info in it but Charlie was on Lantus and then Levemir. The basic info applies regarding Somogyi but, obviously, there is info provided that relates directly to the long acting insulins and Somogyi.


Happy first birthday to your little one!
