Well what can I say, I may need to work from home today or this morning. going to check is 30 minutes to see if he is going up or down. Any one want to bet he will be at the same number lol
 
If he's on the upswing you can probably give the full dose. He doesn't show any diving in the data you've collected through recent cycles. Let's see what the pros think.
 
Yes on the bounce, but aren't you glad you shot the full dose this morning? Great data gathering today as you learn more about Marvin. It was lovely seeing those mid blues.

Yes happy I waited and gave him the shot, and loving the blues, even if a little scary at the moment till I get use to it. I can read and read about all this but I am the type that takes in more by experiencing it. Last Monday seems so far away now, I can't believe I even thought about letting him go. I guess I got a real clear sign not to give up, considering his first low number was Tuesday, and it was NOT a fluke... I think my vet will also be amazed and thankful, can wait to tell her.

I did notice even though he isn't eating as much, he is moving around more, I am guessing that he must be feeling a bit better with those numbers and I just noticed his feet are not full of litter...nice
 
Healing numbers are generally considered to be the green numbers, or under 100. At those numbers, the pancreas is getting support and rest and that is when the beta cells can heal. Note that if Marvin does have acromegaly, there may not be such a thing as "healing" numbers. Acrocats can have fully working pancreases. However, spending time below the renal threshold is a very good thing as it means his kidneys don't have to work overtime. Renal threshold can be determined by using keotdiastix that measure sugar in the urine, that is spilled into the urine when kitty is above renal threshold. The renal threshold number can vary by cat, but is somewhere around 200. I didn't use ketodiastix, but rather tested Neko's BG right before she went in for blood and urine testing, and figured it out that way.
