Theoretically, the curve is supposed to flatten over time.
Here's an option:
One way to help flatten the curve is to deliberately "feed the curve", that is to intentionally feed about +3, possibly with a teaspoon or two of medium carb food, so it reduces the drop. It may result in a slightly higher insulin dose to accommodate the calories. The idea is to keep the drop from being so fast and/or going so low with respect to the preshot, that it doesn't trigger compensatory hormones and release stored glucose (glycogen), ie bounce.
Of course, this may or may not work with your schedule. You could try it out on a cycle you were home to see what happens.

I hate to say this but I have to be honest. I dont really understand what the heck Im doing. I did not get a full true curve yesterday since she hid from me and most of the day I could not find her.
You are just going to have to tell me what to do and I will do it. Even If I dont understand what Im doing I know that whatever you are telling me to do is for the best for my kitty. I will be home tomorrow all day and can try another curve if you want me to. Friday is her dental so I cant feed her after 7 pm tomorrow. Maybe I should get dental out of the way first? Please advise. I was hoping that after the dental her BG would come down. I was hoping that was the cause of high numbers?? Plus maybe also the pain of arthritis? I was going to have the vet check and confirm that her limping is due to arthritis like I think it is. What should I do?

If you are able to get a curve tomorrow, maybe it will shed some light on things.
Good luck.
