7/3 Pumbaa AMPS/347 +5/356 +10/458 PMPS/489

[Pumbaa]

I'm not freaking, yet, over these high numbers. I don't like them at all, but I'm not freaking out.

Pumbaa has quite a history of high bounces after beautiful low numbers, and then going flat and high after the bounce has cleared.

But, I do know that Pumbaa feels better when his numbers are lower, and I hate to see him being lethargic and not his normal juvenile delinquent self when his numbers are this high. It makes it easier for me to catch him and test him, but I would prefer that Pumbaa feels better and causes me to chase him all over the house for testing!

Praying for some relief/consistency for my little guy!

This will be day 5, I would give it 7 days before you give up. And have Sheila take another look if she's around before changing it.

I know Sheila said Pumbaa might not need that long to settle, but Atlas' vet wanted 3 weeks. So 7-10 days is not that crazy. @-)

Of course try to check for ketones again now that he is on this dose. I can't imagine there would be any (with his weight gain and eating well) on 1.5 u (none the last time he was at this dose) but if you can get a check, then you know for sure.

And I hear you (it may be all in our heads ) but I'm quite sure Chip is out of it (some of the time) in the high pinks or higher. nailbite_smile

Pumbaa had another blue streak this morning, and as long as he keep showing some blues, I can be patient. I'll do an update post for 7/4 in a few, when I've tested him again after his PMPS.

I'll test him for ketones again tomorrow. Yesterday and today was just absolutely nuts as I had 5 people over for a grilled turkey dinner.

I don't think it's in our heads...we know our kitties and see how they act in relation to their BG numbers. I know for me, personally, when I eat carbs I want a nap afterwords. Due to the sugar in my system? Probably. I have so much more energy when I remove carbs from my diet.
