Good morning,
Here's yesterday's highs:

https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/06-25-eddie-amps-374-3-342-pmps-349-2-5-376.265057/

 

I had to go out between +2.5 and +3.5 and now look: green!!

Just gave Eddie a light LC lunch.

 

We're out of green @ +8 but into blue: I'll take it.

 

Good boy Eddie.

 

He's been a good boy all day! PMPS 356. Like, how does that work, anyway? Can you recommend some reading on bouncing? I'd like to better understand the principle.
But, gee whiz, Eddie.

 

From the New to the Group Sticky Note:
Bouncing is simply a natural reaction to what the cat's system perceives as a BG value that is "too low". "Too low" is relative. If a cat is used to BGs in the 200's, 300's, or higher for a long time, then even a BG that drops to 150 can trigger a "bounce". Bouncing can also be triggered if the blood glucose drops too low and/or too fast.The pancreas, then the liver, release glucogon, glycogen and counter-regulatory hormones. The end result is a dumping of "sugar" into the bloodstream to save the cat from going hypoglycemic from a perceived low. The action is often referred to as "liver panic" or "panicky liver". *Usually*, a bounce will clear kitty's system within 3 days (6 cycles).

 

I think I arrived at FDMB in such a panic with Eddie after all he had been through that I entirely missed this stickie note. Thank you for directing me to it.
Having said that, what can be done to ameliorate liver panic?
