[Andreea&Tilica]

Hi L&L
I can't understand why he bounces. In the last 2 weeks he didn't stop from bounce, although in Feburary he was allmost constant, the BG didn't reach to 40 despite the lower doses.
Today from 199 at +7 he jumped to 479. Anyway I have to keep this dose but it's very strange .

Hi Andrea,

Bouncy kitties will bounce, sometimes more and sometimes less, sometimes for several cycles and sometimes for a few. My opinion is that it's very difficult to control bouncing. The experts on this forum say that it might improve if your kitty spends more time in good (dark green/low blue) numbers. You can 't force him there though. You're following SLGS and that protocol said a dose reduction was recommended when you had that green that was below 90. Now, following that protocol, unless you get a number under 150, you'll raise the dose back to 1.75 u after Tilica has been on it at least a week.

I suggest that you reread the SLGS information whenever you're unsure, post here with questions and try really hard to be patient. I know how hard it is to have a bouncy kitty!

The saying here is "cats bounce until they don't". Some bounce just a short period of time, some bounce all their time on insulin. Neko was one of the latter, but her bounces got lower over time. There isn't a lot we can do about it except try to find a dose where they can spend safe time in normal numbers. It's not uncommon to have to go up and down in dose to achieve this. As Kris says, after 7 days at this dose you evaluate the 1.5 units dose and decide if it stays the same or goes up or down.

Time to be patient as Wendy and Kris have just said.

Just a thought, that 199 might have been Tilica on the way up, he may have nadired a little earlier.

Tilica, quit bouncing already!!!!
