11/14 Papaya AMPS=583 PMPS=298

[Amy & Papaya (GA)]

Yesterday - very green evening

After all that nice green last night, it's an "oh, does the meter even GO that high?" kind of morning. Papaya seemed to be feeling quite normal, though, eating well and using the LB, not drinking water, so I would imagine the bounce will be short. Have a great day LL.

Yuck on the bounce. Hopefully Papaya will come back down slowly.

Wow, Papaya, THAT is a BOUNCE!!! Now, slide down slowly. No steep drops, please!

Have a fine day, Amy.

Sorry to hear about the bounce. Try giving Papaya low-carb or zero-carb (high-protein) food when the BG gets low (especially in the 50's or 60's). A cat's liver will convert protein to glucose almost immediately (not like humans who need carbs to raise BG) and the cat's BG will come up to a healthy level. This approach also prevents bounces. Give it a try, it really worked for me!
The only time I don't recommend this approach is if a cat has a poor-functioning liver. Otherwise, it works very well.
