Well, he ate, but not as much as I expected. He's 330 now. (Can't believe he rose so fast!!! Is it possible? :? ) I guess there is no need to reduce his dose, huh? One thing You should know - we are treating Cupcake with antibiotics now.

Holding a syringe in my hand...
 
Yes sometimes they will shoot up once they start up. And you are correct you are safe to shoot his normal dose...looks like he is just a late nadir kitty :-)

While he is on antibiotics you are going to want to watch him fairly close because once it starts clearing the infection his BGs may come down quickly and you will want to be ready to reduce his dose if that dose happen.

Mel,
Don't you think there is the possibility of somoygi here? The way that number shot up on little food could be a sugar dump.

There isn't any good evidence that Somogyi happens in cats. If it did, then Dusty would have been super high after the 2 weeks on too much insulin because his owner couldn't home test. Instead, he just ate like a fiend.

Food will cause a spike.

The liver dumping glycogen out if the glucose level is too low or drops too fast will happen, too. That's a bounce, not Somogyi.
 
Yes Ruta my name is Mel which is actually short for Melody...Maxwell and Autumn are my two diabetic cats and the Fur Gang is for my 12 other cats and one large dog...lol

Yep 14 kitties 1 dog and 1 husband..all rescues well except the husband. lol The current total is two diabetics, 1 deaf cat, and 1 cat with epilepsy, and two cats with cardiac problems and the rest with their own emotional problems from prior abuse and neglect.

Thankfully I'm married to a man that is as animal crazy as I am..in fact we are looking into buying a larger place in the country when he retires so we can start a boarding facility and sanctuary for special needs and elderly animals.
