yesterday (back to pink): https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB...-326-6-393-9-424-pmps-402-3-373-5-387.238593/

Stuck in the pinks again while the depot rebuilds, it seems. I have to be out for a bit this morning and can't monitor, but if he's still high this afternoon I'll see if some midcycle R can shake him loose.

I hope Oberon slides down today.

Well lookit that... diving all on his own at +6. No midcycle R.

I think it was the threat of R that did it. No R in the last 6 days.

Yep, he keeps dodging it. Either he's too low for it or I wait to see what happens and he comes down quickly on his own. I also haven't bothered to test ketones in over a week. Maybe I will this evening just for kicks.

Interesting... coming back up already. This is exactly the pattern he had after the last BCS: bounce for a couple of cycles, then a moderate dip. If the pattern continues I should expect an even higher bounce by tomorrow morning. Guess this means I get to sleep tonight after all. I'll check him later to make sure he's really heading up; it would be just like him to fake me out.

Personally I think all diabetic kitties who’s BG is anywhere above normal should be periodically tested for ketones. BG does not have to be crazy high for ketones to develop. It’s most definitely a case of a stitch in time saves nine” it’s especially important if a kitty has a history of ketone development. It can save a life, as well as $1-$3k in vet bills.

So far my experience with him is that his elevated ketones clear out quickly with any BG under about 250-300. So I try to test if his BG has been high for a couple of days. He also appears so far to be able to tolerate high ketone levels without DKA developing, though I know that that could change under different circumstances so I'm not getting complacent about it. I should probably be testing a bit more frequently, though. (And did just now, because I started to get nervous about it... 0.4. )

Creeping back up at +4 (248). I'm probably headed to bed soon. DH will get a +8 when he gets up.
