Good Morning! Pretty good start today. Ebby sampled some more homemade raw for breakfast, this time with FortiFlora, so hopefully she doesn't get an upset tummy again. She seemed to like it!

It's a bounce I suspect.. Has nobody explained bounces to you yet? eBby may have bounced off the blue, or dropped even lower during last nights PM cycle..

Bounces - what are they and is my cat doing them?
When a cat is first diagnosed, the blood glucose has probably been high for a while. As the insulin starts to take effect and numbers start to come down, the liver has to learn to adjust to the lower numbers. We call this "liver training school". But before it relearns that low numbers are ok, when the BG drops to a number lower than the liver is accustomed, or if BGs drop low, or if the BG drops suddenly, the liver”panics” and reacts by releasing counterregulatory hormones and glucagon. This drives the BG back up. This is what we call a "bounce". Bounces can take up to 72 hours to clear so we are generally careful about increasing doses during the bounce. Once the bounce clears, then you can see the "real" numbers and determine if the dose needs to go up or down

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the visit. I was told about bounces, and unfortunately have been dealing with them. I just didn't think this was a bounce at first, because I wasn't used to seeing it happen mid-cycle. Usually her AMPS and PMPS would be elevated because of the bounce, not the mid-cycle. Her cycles might be a little different though since the dose change. Well, thanks for your input. I guess bounces can happen at any time. :-|

They can happen after any low that the liver isn't used to. Tomorrow maybe pose a question about if there is room for a dose change.. Or if you should hold it longer. Tonite can you get a test around PMPS +7 to +10? Trying to fill in some gaps..

Wendy
