12/03 Gus, AMPS 191, +3 220, +8 338, PMPS 333, +3.5 290

Ok. I’ll be testing at +2 then and he’s usually up for a snack around that time also (who am I kidding, he’d eat every hour if I let him - we usually try to wait until the 2 hour mark tho)

Oh ya? So at +1 I should give a spoon full? Was going to wait till +2. (Sorry haven’t read that link yet… or recently. I read it a few weeks ago - will
read it though)

For the numbers he is in, you need not worry about feeding the curve yet. Since he has started lower than usual, let's assume it will be "interesting cycle". You could feed him a spoon of food at +1 and then again at +2. You could make that a habit. Break up his preshot meal into PS, +1 and +2. He might not love THAT very much. LOL.

Lol. He would probably stare at his sisters plate all sad like ‘heya, Ruby, you gonna finish that?’ He’d wait patiently to see if she did

Well … I’ll see what I can do. With his new resistance to getting his shot, I might need that amount for extra distraction, to eventually get the shot. Yesterday morning was the worst of it but last night and this morning wasn’t too bad. I’ll certainly keep it in mind though! For now, I’ll try to feed a bit less and then a spoon of food at +1/2

I think it's more likely glucose toxicity than bouncing. Getting him quickly (but safely) to a dose that breaks through that is what he needs.

I guess I don’t completely know what glucose toxicity is. I know you’ve explained it before.
I just found a thread in here that I’m going to read through… tried to Google it and it hurt my brain little. lol

it’s like a ‘temporary’ insulin resistance? And if present for too long it could cause other bigger problems ..

Yup. When a cat stays in high numbers for too long, it's body gets used to higher numbers and treats them as normal. It then requires much more insulin to break through to lower numbers. Often when that happens (when you break through the insulin resistance) the cat will speed down the dosing ladder.

Seen Callie's spreadsheet recently?
