This could be some NDW as it can happen in the 2 or 3 cycle of an increase or Hansel (DS) left a trail of popcorn again :rolleyes:

Well.... He did have popcorn again last evening while I was at church, but DH was home, so hopefully he was policing the situation better......:rolleyes:

ETA - correction, no popcorn last night, so maybe it is NDW.... We shall see

Yeah, I don't like these blacks either! Let's hope today is just the high before he starts to come down again. I just saw where you edited no popcorn last night.

Fingers and Paws crossed that he will start coming down in the PM cycle.
 
Fed him. I was planning to test again in about an hour.

I'm wondering if I should adjust his feeding schedule. He eats BID - he's a scarfer, not a grazer. I tried 4 times a day feeding (7 am, 12 pm, 7 pm, 12 am) but he was bugging me for food more. That was last month when he was on the LC FF, should I try that again now that he's on his new home-cooked diet?

ETA - I just saw your reply to my thread about the auto feeder.

We find that multiple small meals can be easier on what we hope is a healing pancreas. I too had a demanding Hoover. My best investment was an autofeeder, cause then she stared at her friend Otto(feeder) instead of me. :p Neko was on raw. I fed a couple meals early in the cycle and one at +9 during the day. She had traditionally always eaten then and I couldn't break the habit, so it became a zero carb snack. Then I switched her to Levemir and that snack time became close to her nadir so a good time to prop up her numbers if I needed to.

For cats that take a big dive at onset, it can be helpful to feed a mini meal just before onset to try to slow the dive. The timing of the feeding and amount of carbs requires experimenting to see what works for that cat.
 
I also fed 4-5 times each cycle on a specific schedule and it really helped to slow down big drops like what you saw tonight. Not all cats on insulin need to eat that way but we have always had quite a few in the forum that did. Those big drops (and I’ve seen as much as 100 mg/dL an hour) can really trigger a bounce.

Maybe we’ll see some better numbers tomorrow.
