THIS CAT IS TRYING TO KILL ME WITH HIS NONSENSE. 
I have never seen a 49 on Jack or even his brother Mopem. Chock up lack of panic to: being too physically exhausted to over-react, lots of knowledge gained on the board (THANK YOU EVERYONE), Jack acting like he doesn't have a care in the world and being pissy because his breakfast wasn't served already, and looking at @Angela & Cleo 's SS and seeing so much light green it made me feel better this morning (extra hugs to you, Angela, I don't know how you deal with such low numbers on a regular basis). Since Jack was acting fine, I stalled his shot an hour, and just fed him his regular breakfast of pate and kibble. He did get a little extra kibble (which I will pay for later, I'm sure) but I figured I know it brings his BG up and it's closest to what 'normal' is for him, and which I am desperately trying to maintain. He was 99 @ +13, which is when I gave him a reduced dose of insulin (down to 6.5u from just two cycles of 7u).
This brute was 200's for the past 2 days, 303 at his PMPS yesterday and 198 before I went to bed. HOW in the
did he get to 49 in 7 hours after eating prime filets for dinner?!?!?! I'm taking a guess that the depot kicked in?? I think my attempt at a custom dose regimen is not working the way I'd hoped. I'm going to have to rethink the amount of time I hold the dose, and be firm with myself about holding it, even if #'s are in the 200's and 300's.
I'll keep the SS updated, but I may not get back here for the rest of the day- I was supposed to get the oil changed in the car today and then go down to help my sister on her farm since she has a really bad case of Lyme going on, but Mr Jack has thrown such a wrench into the works today, I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

and clearing the bounce.
It became easier with time and knowing which carbs worked and when. The most difficult part is her not letting me test her when she's low, low, lower 
. Then there's always that inevitable bounce with her
and you're monitoring him
