Squallie really surprised me this morning, his first test was 80, after having no shot last night! I stalled and he came came up to 100, then 137 so I went ahead and gave him his shot. I will be monitoring him very closely today, just the same.
 
He's on a mission! I personally would've brought his dose down to 3u this morning. 2 and under is fine and if you're skipping shots/ delaying to shoot not sure it makes sense to hold the dose any longer.

Thanks! I wish I had done that, I am afraid he will drop too low today.

Just hoping I haven't destroyed his good streak by skipping last night!

Judging by his PMPS, I'd say you haven't.

I think I would wait to reduce until he earns it, or you have to skip another shot. Technically, he hasn't earned a reduction yet. Usually, if you're skipping multiple shots, then we say go ahead and reduce but so far I only see one skipped. This dose is mostly getting him into good, healthy numbers and I worry if you reduce, you won't see those nice healthy greens any more.

Yes, agreed. I went ahead and gave him his full dose tonight, with no reduction.

Good. I wouldn't have reduced either and here's why.

The shot you skipped was a shootable number. If you had shot on time and fed, the number wouldn't have dropped to 54/52......but even that was a shootable number.

We don't reduce the dose just because we didn't feel comfortable shooting. However, if someone is skipping and stalling a lot because they are not comfortable shooting green because they are not available to test, then it would make sense to drop the dose for safety.

He looks great, Lucy!!
