? Noah 20/02 dosage suggestion

There is a phenomenon we affectionately call New Dose Wonkiness, that can happen in the first few cycles after an increase. We don't know what causes it (maybe depot rebalancing?) but it can cause temporary higher numbers. You are in cycle 4 of this dose now, so NDW should be over and you should get better numbers. I see a big drop to +2 tonight, looks like he's on the move down. Any chance of a test later tonight? I would keep on this dose for at least six cycles, and then reevaluate it.

I’m afraid he bounce up so much because the dose is too strong ?

Don't be afraid of bounces. Bounces are a sign that the insulin is working and taking his body to blood sugar values he's not used to yet and almost universally something that relatively newly diagnosed cats do, even some not so new. We want him to get used to normal BG values, and he will only do that by spending time in normal blood sugars. Besides, we decide how to change the dose based on how low the dose takes the cat. Try to ignore the highs from the bounces. They will eventually go away as he sees more time in good numbers.
