Is Meat bouncing?


She is showing lots of improvement in mood, appetite, urination, her legs are in way less discomfort... she's obviously doing a lot better! But highest numbers ever at times.

Can you tell me at what points in the cycle you feed Meat? Food can impact duration and cause higher numbers. There are more reasons than bouncing for higher numbers.

Great Meat report - we love hearing that the cat is feeling better. That's a really good sign. For the longest time, my cat felt best in low pinks. That's when she went and played with her toys. I was so happy when she got out of that phase and started playing in low blues/upper greens.

Aside from AMPS and PMPS (when she also gets a tablespoon of Young Again) she free feeds on fancy feast, so when she eats most is up to her. I am often not great about picking up the food 2 hours before shots. The last couple days she has eaten a lot less since she has been feeling good. Today she was satisfied with her pre diagnosis amount of food, and it was all eaten before +10.

It's all so complicated, thank you so much for helping me try to understand! So interesting about the phase with your kitty feeling good in those low pinks..! I hope if thats what is happening with Meat, it passes soon and we can get some better numbers with good energy!

If she eats carbs later in the cycle, when the insulin effect is wearing off, it can cause a loss of duration. Meaning the insulin wears off faster and she gets higher numbers for the next preshot. It's really hard to tell what's happening when Meat is mostly in flat but higher numbers. It will be easier to see what her cycles are doing when she starts seeing more numbers under 200.

Just keep plugging away on the increases when you can. Looks like 3 more cycles at this dose.

Do you think you can add SLGS to your signature also, only because we like to have the dosing method in the signature and the spreadsheet

That's funny, I know it was there a week ago! I must have deleted it when updating my meter, thank you for letting me know!!

I'll try to pay more attention to the carb content of what she's eating during the day, as well as when. It's all low carb but some is 0% and some is up to 4%.

It will be a relief to get someplace where we can see what's going on a bit better! I'll be happy to get past those cycles, do a curve and move up to 2 units!
Thank you!
