Urine ketone strips say negative (I caught him peeing and got some on a spoon) but im still going to test him via his blood when his meter arrives today

Good catch on the pee and the +2. Based on his trends, I was just going to tell you I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped today. But he got serious.

I would retest 30 mins after he’s done eating.

I wouldn’t yet say he’s “prone” to bouncing. All cats bounce until they don’t. It’s a normal reaction so don’t worry. But, it could also be he just lost duration from his PM shot. That happens sometimes and is more what I think is going on.

And Staci is correct that nadirs can move especially if we overdo the carbs for dropping numbers which I have done myself on more than on occasion.

You are doing great. I’ll check back in shortly.

Oh you are so good at this! He responds so well to LC. You can let him go an hour. Try not to feed if he is not hungry and let’s see if he can stretch the greens a little more.

One other thing….when you do get a big change like that, it’s best to retest right away just to be sure.

Are you ditching the Libre?

Can you please update the subject line to remove the “?” and the text about bouncing since I’ve answered? We also put the date first, then the name, and everyone will appreciate updates to his BG. Thanks so much.

Im going to try the libre again once it arrives, since I had to get a replacement due to his libre shutting down on its own. Its mostly a trial run because im not sure when I return to work yet and if I do I wont be able to reliably test him any more due to working full time 😥

I added some text above so please reread my previous message.

Got it, thank you for telling me!!
 
Update: its saying 0 ketones in the blood test which is fantastic!!! 🥳🥳🥳 should I keep the ketone tester or return it due to not needing it if hes testing 0 ketones on both blood and urine for the time being?

That’s up to you. I never used one but would have ordered one if Gracie ever had shown ketones on a strip.
