Good morning LLand! We're starting off Pink this morning and I'm not sure why. I know he had NO dry food as I only left out 1 can of Friskies Turkey/Giblets pate with ice cube in it. There was NOTHING - why is he throwing this number at me? Yesterday's Condo

KT could be bouncing off of that 172 yesterday, this actually looks like the second blue bounce to this dose....Boo was a blue bouncer too for awhile (look at my ss beginning 8/12 - 9/12)!

It looks like historically, it takes him less and less time to clear them with the first one at this dose clearing after about 48 hours.

I know someone else will come along here....I don't think there's much doubt that you'll need to take a increase here shortly, but I would wait another day or so to let this bouncing level out, or to see if he bounces again.

He's finally reacting to the insulin by throwing you consistent, intermittent blues, and that you can and are effecting with insulin....it's getting his pancrease accustomed to the lower numbers that you can't effect(which is the bounce), so the waiting, lets that happen. It lets his body adjust to something lower and this is an important (albeit frustrating) part of the process! He has to accept this blue lower to be able to go even lower, and bouncing is a sign that he's trying to work it out.....Hopefully that makes sense! ;-)
 
He is higher today because: When a cat's BG drops too far too fast, the body defensively dumps stored glucose back into the bloodstream resulting in a higher BG! KT isnt used to the lower numbers,
so he is bouncing! This IS NOT a bad thing, just a bodily response...
The Blues are good shows some progress!
Think about asking the dosing helpers about fine tuning his dose to bring down these numbers -OK?
You are still doing good! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
BUSY Bean day but we got lots of pokies in today.

I'm exhausted and am going to forego putting those numbers here tonight. They are on spreadsheet.

Sienne, I did get a pm +2......... ;-)

So many prayers for lots of our fur family here on the board that have lost babies or have sick babies. We pray for God's healing light to comfort each of them....

Good night all...
