Insulin was increased to 4.25 last night and Henry had a nice active cycle with low blues (lowest was 119 at some point). Today the bouncing is off the walls. No ketones though yay.

Otherwise doing really well, relaxed and as usually asking loudly for his pmps food (coming up shortly in the next 30 min). He seems to have gained a little bit in weight (not too much) so I will have to do better job with the calories intake.
 
Plus a little New Dose Wonkiness on top of that bounce. How much weight has he gained? Did the vet give you an ideal weight for him?
 
She did not say the ideal weight but said he should have 320 calories per day. Which I try to but difficult when I have to top off his food with yummy stuff so he can eat it. Planning is a bit tough with him because he gets bored easily but I have to do better. He gained 0.5 pounds total from last month with 0.2 in the last 2 weeks. He was 20 pounds when he got diagnosed in Jan and lost 3 pounds very quickly when I put him on the prescription diet Purina DM savory morsels which was 320 calories per day. He hated after 10 days plus it was still high carbs. He gets one small can in the am and one small in pm usually 200 calories total . But between the snacks and toppers and even raw chicken I guess he gets more than 320 somehow. The Stella and chewy and other freeze dried treats are high in calories so even 1 sprinkled on food adds up. He is better off with more food but less calories like some Weruva can than less food with higher calories like FF for example. He cries for more food if he does not get enough and he is super vocal and relentless. I usually rotate a lot because he gets bored too fast. At the same time I have to find tricks for him to get more liquid. I just have to do better calculating calories and planning.
