I was shocked to see 448 after such great numbers recently. Last night and again today she didn't seem like she felt well. This afternoon I gave her Bupe. Unfortunately I checked her BG about 1/2 hour later at +3. 448! Now I wish I checked BG before Bupe. Would this be anything other than a bounce? Should I be doing anything?

I started giving her some digestive enzymes and aloe very juice with her food, but she didn't have it this morning. She doesn't like the Aloe Vera. Does anyone know of a better tasting one?

The 448 was at +3? Did you take another reading just to be sure it wasn't a wonky one? I don't see a bounce. She has been getting lovely numbers. If your numbers continue in the high range, I would suspect that she doesn't feel well. Maybe discontinue the enzymes and Aloe Vera until she gets back on track, just in case one of those are upsetting her stomach or something.
 
Hi Barb,

Have you checked the ingredients of the digestive enzymes? I was using some until I checked the ingredients and noticed maltodextrin listed. I'm not sure exactly how it works in the body, but I know it's some sort of carb. It's always in my Gu gels that's supposed to give you energy during endurance events. Since you said you just started using them, I wonder if something in that is pushing the numbers up?

Here's a good explanation of maltodextrin: http://www.fitsugar.com/What-Maltodextrin-293287
