I hope Elliott clears the bounce soon.

The green sure was nice, but yellow is still better than pink!
It's all progress

Well, I am exhausted..but while reading everything I can find on hyperglycemic rebound (bounces), etc..I can only imagine that all of you have already done this. What keeps coming up is food and type 2..Does the addition of food impede the pancreas/liver from over reacting and causing hyperglycemia? Is the insulin still being produced as in Type 2? The problem (for me) is finding "a pattern" to compare the ups and downs with. Falling asleep last night makes me wonder why did hour after hour the BG remain stable? Was it due to the chicken provided after every BG? Probably not!! BUT after all of the research by FDMB members...Does this ever end? Has anyone found an expert that has some insight into "how to control/ prevent the bounces, ups and downs overall? I think that i am just tired..Thanks for your concern and best wishes!!!

That's how Lantus works, isn't it nice? The chicken probably helped a little bit. Lots of us feed little snacks every few hours, and it does tend to flatten the curve.
There is no answer to when a cat will stop bouncing, except "until they don't".
Some kitties bounce all the way to OTJ!

Okay..I get it..I must not believe that there is no answer/treatment but maybe what you are saying is REALITY!! I just don't know and right now, I am going to lie down after another BG..Thanks Andy!!!That's how Lantus works, isn't it nice? The chicken probably helped a little bit.

Feeding can help keep the cat's numbers from dropping so much and can possible help keep the bounce from being so high. But bouncing can also be caused by a fast drop. A cat's body also has to get used to the lower numbers. When they're used to the higher numbers, they bounce from normal numbers because they seem too low. It really is true that a cat bounces until they don't. Each cat is different. Bouncing is just part of the process of dealing with feline diabetes.

Bounce bounce bounce, they just do it. Smokey is very bouncy. He will bounce from a blue. Occasionally he will bounce from a yellow but that's less common now, so progress has been made.
