He ate 1/2 a can at +2, Do you think he is still so high because of the high carb food I gave him yesterday?

Hi guys .. sorry that simkes appy is down .. some cats are very carb sensitive where they shoot quite a ways up and take awhile to come down .. hopefully simke will be down soon .. have a great day!
 
Re: Simke AMPS 445 +3 497

I would say the high numbers are a bounce.
Simke saw some green yesterday and that can cause a liver to panic. It's not used to being in low numbers any more.

When a cat's blood glucose goes low, their body will react instinctively by releasing "glucagon", "glycogen" and counter-regulatory hormones into the blood stream. This causes the BG to rise, usually significantly. It usually makes them stay higher for a day or longer too.

By "low", that doesn't have to mean hypoglycemic low. Just lower than what the body is used to. A cat who has been running in high numbers in the 350-400 range can bounce if the numbers drop a couple of hundred points. Because the cat isn't used to BGs in the 100-200's range.

It can take up to 72 hours for a bounce to clear.

Lol, thanks at this rate I may need to take up meditation, usually pretty easy going but not doing well with that skill at the moment.

Can't tell you all how much I appreciate your encouragement, getting encouraged to put him down a lot so your support really helps.

I, also, have been getting "gentle" suggestions that perhaps, it is time to "let her go." That she has poor quality of life (her life is no different), she must feel bad (if she does, she sure is hiding it), that my life is so restricted (and it is, but I believe that will eventually change), and that she is peeing all over (and that is somewhat true, but I think that will improve too). She acts/feels just like she always has. Maybe better than before she was diagnosed.

So, although I know these people think they are looking out for me, I let them know that I can tell it is nowhere close to her time :razz: :-D :-D
