Hi and welcome to PZI.
My cat Henry gets a different reaction than a lot of cats here to his insulin and has a different dosing schedule than normal 12/12 hour dosing because he is always lower for his PMPS than AMPS. I really can't advise you about whether its a bounce or not, but it doesn't really seem like it to me. If he had no insulin last night it may have allowed him to stay higher today. Some of the the members who are experienced and give others advice are on right now, so maybe they will check in.
Just wanted to welcome you!

Now that you have more data (great testing you're doing) it looks like it might have been a bounce.

Callie has been having higher bg's for a while now so her body has gotten used to those higher numbers and now that she is getting insulin she has been seeing lower numbers during her cycle like she should but since she's not used to it her liver may be dumping sugar to compensate for it. It looks like the bounce is wearing off now.

She is getting a good response from the insulin. You should start seeing her bg's level out a bit now.

You are doing a great job.

I'm sorry you havn't been getting the responses that you should, the night you came over Kim's Kitty was having a dramatic drop on a new vial of insulin and everyone was pretty wrapped up with that.

Please come back and join us more often.
