He is doing very well.
Very good!
I sometimes would just test Darcy's ear at the same time he was eating his food. He didn't move around much and I was confident of being able to get blood.
They need what they need and we don't want to loose momentum by holding a dose too long.
Until we learn how low a 3.0 unit dose will take him - Sometimes a bounce can take a couple of cycles to fully clear - if he starts heading down from, say, the AM shot and clearly only keeps heading down to the PM shot and you end up with a low PMPS, the bounce clearing cycle(s) may still be active crossing over to the PM cycle so you want to be a little careful and make sure he's either flattened out or on the rise and shoot a little lower if needed, depending how low the PS is, maybe 2.75 units, (looking at 09/08 AM cycle again) until we see how he handles it.
Keep an eye on the nadir and how low he's going when he's not bouncing. Every cycle doesn't need to be green in order to hold.
Maybe that was it. Some people do report that beef makes their cat’s BG go higher. Not everyone though.
That would be nice. It’s unusual, because many cats tend to drop lower at night. Is there anything different in how he eats at night? Or perhaps it’s just his pattern.
First thing I do is try and rule out any culprits. Getting in to any contraband food? Infection brewing? Dental needed? Insulin going bad?
His nadir is typically between now and +7.
It's often said that a string of flat numbers can be a kitty getting READY to clear a bounce & the bounce might not clear until the next cycle or 2. Fingers crossed that's what we're seeing!
