Why high +3 number this morning?

[Yvonne & Andy &BJ (GA)]

Can anybody explain what could have caused Andy's +3 bg to climb to 423? I was planning to test again at +5 - should I bother at this point? On 10/27, he had a similar effect at +4 but on .8u. Is the 1.2u too much? This is very perplexing.

Hi Yvonne ~ it is not uncommon for them to climb up a bit at the +2-3 mark since they have just eaten a few hours prior. My cat often climbs up and that marker before he starts to come down. If you could get another test between 5-7 to see where Andy's nadir is that would be some more helpful data for you.

Looks like he dropped back down. It's good information if he is carb sensitive. Then you can think about finding some of the lower carb foods (2-6%) and see if they bring him down. Just stay away from seafood more than once/twice a week (Mercury). And you may be able to give him regular carb food when he drops low rather than getting out the higher carb.
