Hi Nancy it looks to me that Bailie is bouncing from the blue BG yesterday. It's very common in newly diagnosed kitties
Bouncing is explained as
Bouncing - Bouncing is simply a natural reaction to what the cat's system perceives as a BG value that is "too low". "Too low" is relative. If a cat is used to BGs in the 200's, 300's, or higher for a long time, then even a BG that drops to 150 can trigger a "bounce". Bouncing can also be triggered if the blood glucose drops too low and/or too fast.The pancreas, then the liver, release glucogon, glycogen and counter-regulatory hormones. The end result is a dumping of "sugar" into the bloodstream to save the cat from going hypoglycemic from a perceived low. The action is often referred to as "liver panic" or "panicky liver". *Usually*, a bounce will clear kitty's system within 3 days (6 cycles).

A couple of questions. What dosing method are you following? If you're feeding any dry food, even the Dr. Elseys dry, then SLGS method is what you will follow. With SLGS, you hold the dose for 7 days unless the BG drops under 90, then perform a curve.
I have to run out for a bit, but I will be back later with some links.

She’s actually dosing custom dosing because of a needed dental and her vet. Nancy please write custom in your signature so people don’t keep asking you. If you are going to follow one of our methods it would be SLGS. As Chris and I have mentioned it’s hard for us to give dosing advice without following a method.

Yes I’m sorry to say he hates wet food I am trying my best to get him to eat wet food and it’s costing me a fortune lol I don’t care though because I love him so much I would sell my house for him if I had too. But he is eating Dr.Elseys dry. And he has a very small amount of seafood wet ,when I say small amount I mean it .I wish he would eat more
