Seeking advice about current dose progress

Could anyone with better know-how than myself take a look at Oscar's spreadsheet and tell me what you think?
I've been working a lot and not able to keep as close as eye as I'd like. Some outside perspective would help make sense of how it's going.
I'm hoping he'll start to settle into this dose but his preshots are still pretty high and he's bouncing off any good numbers he sees.
TIA
 
Hi Julie and Oscar.
I am not a province user so will tag @FrostD to help you with the dose.
HERE is the link to Prozinc basics
If you are able to get more tests in during the pm cycles, that would be helpful. Even a before bed test on a regular basis is good.
Thanks! I did tag frostD in another post but I feel a little guilty asking her a million questions. Haha.
Just wanted to see if anyone else could provide some insight!

We love questions so don’t worry about that.
If you could get more tests in we can see if he is dropping lower at any other time. That will help with dosing advice.
Do you give snacks during both the cycles?

I try to feed him as much as he wants. I leave frozen food out when I'm gone and he will wake me up in the middle of the night if he runs out. He eats a lot.
I can get more tests on the weekend. I don't actually think he's dropping TOO low at any time. If he is, I have no idea when. 2 or 3 am maybe?

Long story short - I think he needs an increase but can't say with total certainty given nighttime testing gaps. Spreadsheet looks pretty typical for where he's at, the hope is the next few dose adjustments get him into more blues/yellows, less pinks/reds. I don't think there's much else you can do at this point except stick with it, and get those nighttime tests when you can.

Sorry for the double dose of messaging. I'll try to get some more nighttime tests. Maybe that'll make the picture clearer for when to make a dosing adjustment.
