08/31 Eddie AMPS 410 +3 434 +5 364 PMPS 446 +3.75 398 (Day 4 Levemir)

I think you should try getting some +3.5 or +4 tests. The typical onset for Levemir is +4 and it looks like it's definitely later than +3 for Eddie. Getting a +3 isn't going to tell you much about the upcoming cycle, at this stage of his diabetes dance. On Lantus, looks like he was occasionally going lower at night then bouncing during the day, causing higher +2's. I don't see many, if any, higher +3's, other than bounce cycles.

BTW, you had a label on yesterday saying "bounce" but I can't see why he'd be bouncing. NDW is more likely.

Ok, I’ll start testing later. I now recall you saying once upon a time that Lev onset can be later.
The thing about NDW is that said wonkiness is so hard to pin down.
 
NDW happens in the first few cycles after an increase. Eliminate bouncing as a reason, then it's likely NDW in that time period.
 
@Wendy&Neko
I'm wondering about getting Eddie closer to the dose he was on Lantus (16u). We were at 11u for 4 cycles starting Levemir and now are at 13u for 4 cycles and he's pretty much holding red.
I'm taking Blue to Vancouver on the 6th, so want to make sure Eddie is at a safe dose by then. What do you think?
