Bouncing?? Please review and give feedback

[Missy & Tammy]

Hi there

I was hoping I could get some feedback on how Missy looks so far today. I am starting to understand all this a little more and feel a lot calmer today now that I understand "bouncing" and waiting for insulin to depot and stabilize more.

I was also relieved to see her ketones in urine at PMPS 390 was NIL. I also tested her blood ketones as well at PMPS 390 and they were 2.1. 390 is the highest BG I have seen since I have started testing her.

Question....
What can I expect tonight? When should I test her again? +3, +6, +9??

As always I am VERY grateful for the help and any advice you can offer. Thank you!!

Hi. Yes, she is bouncing. Her AMPS and PMPS are about the same. Meter variance is up to 20%. I would get a +2. Unless it’s a lot lower than the PMPS you can then stop testing until AMPS. The +2 is often an indicator as to whether she will have an active cycle requiring more moderating. I’m glad you are feeling a little better. There’s a steep learning curve so keep asking questions.

Deep breaths, Tammy You are doing great! Don't worry.
Numbers will go up and down and this way and that way for some time. Insulin is a hormone and not a drug. It can takes a few weeks/months for the cat to get used to and for clear trends to emerge. Some cats manage it faster than others. Give it time.
