Can someone please look at Tomcat's SS and confirm he is most likely bouncing? This is so frustrating, I feel so badly for him....crying for food for days!!! and feeling awful too I would guess

I know my shots have a been good.....I have been on my hands and knees smelling him all day like a mad woman searching out that awful Lantus smell. No smell and not wet

Thank goodness I just learned about bouncing,I would have been so desperate I would have increased his Lantus to 4 units as per Vet's instructions!

When a bounce clears....is it usually at the start of a new cycle or can it clear +8 during a bounce cycle?

Thanks all

I have been free feeding LC FF this entire time to satisfy his "fake" hunger, I know I should ration him a bit as it will just make him feel worse (raising BG) ....but the food does not seem to raise his numbers.....they are constant/fairly consistent all day. Does this info help with the bounce confirmation?
 
Lol I love the picture in my head of you sniffing tomtom and I can imagine his confused expression thinking mamabean is a madwoman ;)

If you don't see him come down by end today you might need a dose increase. However I would propose you start posting on the tight regulation board since you are now more experienced. That board has a great sense of community and I feel it could really help you in terms of dosing since there are many very experienced dosing members on there. I am on there every day myself. http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewforum.php?f=9
You are welcome to continue to post here, I just think that they might be able to help you more over there.

Heres how to post
Every day ( or as often as you can) you open a new thread/post. We call them "condos"
- The subject has the date/cats name and BG readings ie 06/15 Tomtom AMPS 308 +4 296+ 7 325. You add a ? icon if you have a question. You can update your subject as you get a reading, or whenever.

- The contents of your post have a quick update on how tomtomy is feeling as regards the 5Ps ( peeing. pooing, preening, playing and purring) and any questions and a link to your previous post ie : Today Tomtom was in a good mood, playing and eating well. But still his BG is really high. Should I increase the dose?

For your first post put "newbie" also in your subject so everyone can welcome you!

Edited to add.. If you are feeding a low carb food, free feeding is fine and I would continue with that.
