Just a note: for SLGS, the reduction point is 90 on a human meter. I'm not sure how that translates on a pet meter. For TR, the reduction point is 68 on a pet meter.
It's 90 on SLGS on either human or pet meters
Yikes, 576 pmps. Guess that kibble caught up with us. I'm getting better at the shot. I'll try to hang out with him and catch a urine, but he's sneaky. Up until the kibble, it was going well. At least I know the numbers can go lower.
Probably wasn't the kibble as much as it was just a bounce....Most of the time, our cats are diabetic for quite awhile before we notice enough signs and get them diagnosed, so their body's have had time to get used to living in higher blood glucose numbers. When we start to get them down into "normal" numbers, their liver kind of freaks out thinking "Oh no!! This isn't normal!! I like it high!!"....and so it releases stored sugars and hormones to bring it back up quickly. But as you can see, it's not too accurate....instead of just releasing enough to take them to where they usually are, it goes overboard!!
But all you can do is wait it out. It can take up to 6 cycles for those sugars and hormones to get back out of the system.
Eventually, the liver will re-learn that it's OK to be in those lower numbers and hopefully won't react quite so much...the bounces won't be as high and won't last as long!
Yo LT!! Step away from the trampoline!!
