Keep getting data and try not to be too discouraged. Lev has a later onset, so you often see more downward movement in the last half of the cycle. Plus, you could still be seeing results of a bounce. Maybe he’ll continue rising, maybe not. Let’s just see where this goes.
 
Eddie's bounce's typically take more than 24 hours to resolve. This is where patience pants are a good fit.;)

The day he’ll break the bounce? Let’s hope so. Looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s numbers. Glad you’re not going to rush an increase.

Well, JL, PM +8 373. At this point, I'm not confident he'll break this bounce. I was not rushing to increase but with the exception of a couple of blues he's been on a tear for nearly a week. Are you suggesting that breaking the bounce will return him to those lower numbers and he'll stay there at 15.5u? I'm looking to Eddie for guidance and I know that when he's up in the 300s, he is not really a happy guy.

Well, what I’m zeroed in on is that he was at 122 less than 48 hours ago. And that his +8 from the cycle just prior was 121. From +8 to +12, which is where the insulin typically hits hardest, it’s possible that he went even lower. Don’t know, but maybe. Wouldn’t it be interesting if he actually dropped below 90.

So given that a bounce can last up to 6 cycles, we’re still possibly still seeing effects of a bounce. If you increase now, you might see numbers drop, but it could be because the bounce is breaking not because of the increase in dose. Also, you could trigger NDW, which then makes the numbers higher again. It all becomes convoluted and misleading from a cause-effect standpoint. So maybe follow a strategy of waiting out a full 6 cycles (or longer if following SLGS) after you see numbers in your target 90-149 range. Just sayin’ …
