We're doing pretty good lately. Went a whole 24 hours yesterday without going over 200. I've been dosing just under the 0.5 line.

Aside from the good numbers, Mitsu has started pulling her fur out. Normally this is a food allergy, or sometimes some other skin irritation. I'm not sure why this time, she doesn't seem itchy, but has been grooming more than usual. I hope it's not the rabbit food. Having to switch back to hp isn't really an option any more, and it's really difficult to find a new food without a re-set to a safe food.
 
Sounds like you have dealt with the allergies too. I think we have discussed it. I hope it’s not tge rabbit. Which proteins have you tried in the past?

Chicken, beef, salmon, lamb, duck. I hope it's not the rabbit. Chicken starts to make her itchy within 24 hours, but other foods take a while to build up in her system. In the past I've had to switch back to hp for a few months to get her skin all healed before trying something new. I haven't found any other way to definitively rule something out otherwise. I think venison would be my next try if I need to do it.

Normally she gets itchier. Ears, face and tail start to lose hair. She gets very irritated and restless.

Now she's just grooming a lot and pulling out the fur on her chest. I don't know what that means. Maybe it's the Libre sensor that's making her skin uncomfortable?
 
My sympathy. I have eliminated chicken, beef, pork, turkey, and possibly duck and rabbit with one if mine. I worry constantly as my girl is going on 4 and I worry I will run out of food.
