I think I've figured out my Magellan is so bouncy in the am. I need to give him an early am snack, that and an auto feeder....:joyful::nailbiting::nailbiting:
 
looks like it is a pj party for me and Magellan, Ive been feeding him high carb treats to stop the drop but that does not seem to be working.
 
How is Magellan acting?

Dry food/treats don’t get into the system as fast as high-carb canned food. Do you have any canned food with gravy? Given he’s only at +3 and he’s newly back on the juice, I’d probably feed a teaspoon or so of the gravy. (I’m a little rusty on dealing with Lantus but no one else has responded so didn’t want you to be alone)

Please test again 10-15 min after your last test.

It also looks like Magellan needs a reduction - even if he didn't fall below 50. Since he is seeing these numbers after 2 skipped shots in the last few days.

Yep, HC treats don't get into the blood stream as quickly. If you need to, you can use a few drops of honey on the back of his paw...that'll send his numbers up...but only for a little while. Luci loves that one! She's addicted to sweets...so she always wants more!

Welcome to the early morning club...get some coffee :coffee::coffee::coffee:

Magellan is lethargic, and not doing much but laying at my side, yes I gave him honey and I am waiting for the 30 min test time.. I figure that would allow the honey to work.

Magellan hates honey, that is why I was trying the treats
 
right now he is under the table im using and beeing sleepy/lathargic kitty.. Magellan in the past is asymptomatic for hypos so im just a bit freaked
 
Please test him. Its an hour since the previous test?
He could just be sleepy but you don't want to miss a test when he is running on the lower side.
 
I see the 75 now on your SS. That's good. Can you feed him some of his regular food now? We don't want to give send him to the moon with too much honey and HC.
 
So he was
55 @+5
75 @ +5.25

and 88 when?

you want to get one more test to see that he is rising without food and you can then call it a night.
 
When you get multiple tests within an hour, you stack them up in the same box in the SS. I have done it on your SS now. Take a look for next time.
 
next time, you want to spread out the food so that he doesn't get too full to eat when you need him to prop his numbers up.
77 is still a safe number. let us get one more test to see if he is still dropping without food. looks like a sleepless night for you!
