He had a pancreatitis flare earlier in the month and then got over a definite bounce (see his chart between Aug 8/11), after which he got some really good numbers. (all of his numbers are on an AlphaTrak)
Then, I start seeing this weird stuff. Like he is at a good number, then goes (kind of, but not really that) low, and then one and a half cycles later, he gets higher - up to close to 300. It seems as if he cycles over 36 hrs from his highest to his lowest #'s - anyone else have that kind of thing going on?
On Sat night, in the middle of the night, I caught him going down to about a 65, which again for most cats with uncomplicated diabetes might not be too bad, but with him, it looks like it caused a bounce which showed up 18-24 hrs later.
I reduced the dose by .25, and my question is now - how long should one ideally hold a reduction to see if it is going in the right direction?
* My goal is to be as close as possible to TR, but mainly keep him in the blue, as I've found that chasing green #'s causes wonkiness likely due to pancreatitis. I find that for him, keeping him between 100-200 is ideal and safest)
