In the blues but he is a much happier cat. 
If he shows the extreme aggression again and I manage to test then I will be able to confirm whether it's related to low numbers or not. If I get a test and his numbers aren't low then I think I need to dig deeper as to whether he is experiencing intermittent pain.
However, if he acts like that again and I cannot test I don't see much option other than to feed mc/hc until the "episode" passes in case it is low bg being the cause.
He could be in a bounce now - but I have no way of knowing...and better safe than sorry.
Herman slept in bed next to me all night and was perfectly fine for those tests - what a turnaround from the hours I couldnt get near him without him. When he gets "set off" he is like a wild animal - truly upsetting. Poor little guy. Hope we don't see an episode like that again!

Those wild animal episodes have to be so upsetting indeed for both of you! I really hope you never see another one, but *if* you do, that you're able to get a test and confirm whether it's low numbers-related.
It's so odd how often they seem to be feeling better when not green. Maybe in normal range, most healthy cats are higher than we expect. Since they're all so different too, I guess we'll never know!
Hope he stays snuggly today, and you can go about your day without any further drama

More than once Herman has been quite distressed in low ranges - but to complicate things I have seen him low numbers acting completely normal, too! So who knows! Maybe completely unrelated? Better a day too high than a minute TOO low so I will keep erring on the side of caution even if it slows us down a bit. I have to be out for meetings longer than usual tomorrow so I am contemplating another BCS tomorrow am as well.... we will see.Those wild animal episodes have to be so upsetting indeed for both of you!

Highest BG in some time for our pmps - but - he's being extra affectionate (sleeping wrapped around my feet while I work) so I will take it!
So...might this be a bounce because he did in fact go low? Or is it an after affect of our BCS yesterday. Only Herman knows for sure.

The impact of a BCS, skip, fur shot etc. is often seen in later cycles. Glad to hear he's back to happier and affectionate cat today. I agree with your strategy, whatever it takes to keep them safe. The effects of MC/HC wet wear off soon enough.
