This is Henry's second day of 0.75 units and day five of bounce. Just to let you folks know Henry is playing a lot with the other (3) cats. By having the (4) cats each meal is controlled no food on the floor at anytime for them to eat.

Well, I've heard up to 6 days to clear a bounce...but really?

I'm hoping the increase will kick start things and you'll see some better numbers soon...

Have you thought about removing all of the kibble? There's still some carbs in those kibbles...just thinking out loud here.

Those are not bounces. It's the natural rise after dose wears off. Now that doses are consistent for last 5 days, you are starting to see the true picture of Henry's cycle. According to ss there are many days with no info. Only 3 days of 0.5 units, if that's when insulin started the depot has not been established before the increase to .75 units.

Just a suggestion, but I’d delete the info about this being day five of a bounce. He isn’t bouncing; he doesn’t have enough insulin. For the dose he was on, he would have easily cleared any bounce by the sixth cycle following the green numbers. If we don’t see some substantial movement by the end of tomorrow, we will want to increase the dose to 1u Friday morning.

We also ask that subject titles be kept short so we don’t really need to know his dose. I’m not trying to be critical but there are not that many experienced members and what we do is look down the list of cats and their BGs to prioritize who needs help first. Sometimes a member might not even know how significant the data is. For example, if AMPS is 370 and +2 is 100, that’s significant. If we have to read through unnecessary text in the subject line, it slows us down on triaging who needs help first.

I’m not sure if anyone linked the Posting Guidelines but that might help you.

Have a great day!

I’m fast tracking him. The dose was restarted too low.
