Aww, Herman tricked me into thinking he wasn't going to bounce anymore. 
Now you have permission to focus on other things.

Well +4 is disappointing. He’s also GRUMPY. I wonder if he gets constipated occasionally and if that affects BG. He’s always preferred pooping in our indoor arena so hard for me to track. I did see him poop yesterday, perhaps he strained a tiny bit but hard to tell with the neuropathy and his new postures.

Oh he had me tricked too. Trying not to panic. Wondering if this am shot didn’t land in a great spot either, I am having a heck of a time with shots. He’s never been easy but his skin is extra tight lately and his fur has exploded for winter. Between the squirming and hissing and growling it’s been a struggle.Aww, Herman tricked me into thinking he wasn't going to bounce anymore.

I don't see a reason to panic. Constipation can definitely cause higher BGs. Rex used to have that issue. Do you add anything to his diet to help with that, like pure pumpkin?

I haven’t as I’m not sure he is really having issues so haven’t don’t much research. Is pumpkin low carb enough to add safely? I could try that if it can’t hurt.

I gave pumpkin to all the cats, even though only Rex had issues. It was fine. The way I saw it, it couldn't harm anything because all my cats were older and I figured they could use all the help to make that easier on them. It didn't raise Rex's BG.

Brain fart…I fed him at +11. Saw the unexpected green and autopilot kicked in and fed him small snack.
