How does Dyson like the blues?

Apparently.... he isn't a fan, because he's back in black.
Is that normal for a day? Or is it abnormal to be so all over the place?
Looks like he broke a bounce, then his little body freaked out at the blues and bounced. Not abnormal. I've seen the occasional cat start over 500, dive down to greens and zoom back up again. One of those cats was named Neko. 
Once he spends more times in blue, then eventually green, his body won't freak out as much.
I was asking how Dyson was acting/behaving at the blues.

He's definitely been more active and more actively annoyed by our poking his ears. But he really is such a difficult cat to gauge because his idea of an active day has always been walking across the room and laying down on top of a toy.Looks like he broke a bounce, then his little body freaked out at the blues and bounced.

But he seems more "with" it overall, which is good.

He's also gained back 3 lbs from when he ended up in the ER
How close is he to his idea weight now? Or prediabetes weight?

Honestly... not sure what his ideal weight would be. But he is around 11lbs now, and was mid 8s during his DKA. He normally was up around 15-16lbs... which was definitely too heavy. I would guess his ideal weight would be somewhere around 13 or so.
Next time you see the vet, ask. It's a good idea to know what they should be so you can work his weight to get there. I was surprised once when the vet told me Neko was too light when she went under 13 lbs. Normally she was 14 1/2.

Wow, that's my cat, Puddin, too (hence his name...he acts like a blob of "puddin")! These two are very similar in a number of ways. Hopefully Dyson doesn't get as high in units as us so far, though!
