Snookums has been more sensitive to insulin the last few months, so he's often had to have a reduced dose to prevent low blood sugar, which is very dangerous. Even so, it's often gone low enough that his blood sugar rebounds and yo-yos extra high the next twelve hours (the Somogyi effect). These quick reversals make him sick and prevent my taking a blood curve, a chart made from six blood glucose measurements over twelve hours and usually the foundational information the vet needs. He's been vomiting or having diarrhea more often the last couple of weeks, but I've been unable to do a curve on the weekends due to Somogyi rebound! But it's getting increasingly worrying and he seems to have possibly lost some weight, so we decided I'll try to get an appointment for him next week.
