Happy Caturday LL!
I didn't manage to get an Eddie condo up yesterday. I laid down to take a short nap after work, and woke up well past "bed time." Ah well. Got in plenty of sleep for a change...just not during normal human being hours. @-) Eddie had a big bounce yesterday in the AM after hitting the 40's following our dosecrease. Got the message loud and clear, Mr. EdLiver! No need to race up to the pink floor and sit there! He looked to be clearing the bounce late in the AM cycle yesterday, then wobbled around in mid-blue numbers for the PM cycle before heading back up into another bounce. This AM, Eddie hung out on the pink floor again. :roll: Tonight, so far, he is finally starting to slide down. Hopefully Mr. Greenie will come to visit tonight!
Something I did recently to help me see Eddie's patterns more easily was to take his numbers from his SS and put them in a new spreadsheet, with the days lined up in one long row, rather than having each day stacked on top of another. In that format, I can definitely see "waves" that cover three to five cycles. Just another way to look at things, I guess. :smile:
Sort of OT: I ran across this article about insulin resistance some time ago. I had to read it about 12 times to understand most of it, and there are some parts that are still over my head. It presents an interesting hypothesis about the role of insulin in perpetuating or even causing insulin resistance. Basically, the body's receptor cells are less responsive to the insulin, so there's excess insulin circulating. The excess insulin evidently (it's hypothesized), actually causes a down-regulation of the the receptors cells. I think this hypothesis maybe gives a nice physiological explanation for the high flat bounce cycles that we see our kitties having. For some leisure reading: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/31/Supplement_2/S262.full
How cool is it that there are several relatively new LL kitties that are going down the dosing scale in dramatic fashion!? :mrgreen:
And for the other folks whose kitties are taking their time - you will get there! :YMHUG:
