Hi everybody,

I was feeling pretty good yesterday when Chet had a lower PMPS reading than he has ever had, but 4 hours after his AM shot and he is in 598! I took the reading three more times to be sure and it's definitely this high. Could he be rebounding? Should I try reducing his dosage back to 3 Units (He is on 3.5 Units) or even more?

You should definitely stick to 3.5u. If anything, he may need to go up in dose not down.

That looks like a bounce - I say that as long as you shot 3.5u this morning - there is nothing in the AM units column. If yesterday was the lowest you have seen, that might mean his body reacted and dumped some stored glucose thinking he was low. Off course he wasn't low and you will just need to wait this bounce out. Hopefully he clears it soon!

The drop from his AMPS to PMPS has likely caused a bounce. I know how frustrating seeing that high number can be. Please be patient. It can take a few days for the bounce to clear and then you can see how Chet's numbers look.

Thank you, Tracey and Sienne! I will stay the course and hope that Chet’s body normalizes in time. It is reassuring to know that this is something that can happen and doesn’t mean he needs to drop his dosage just yet.
