This is above the normal range and it makes sense only if you aren't monitoring. I would really try for remission and failing that try for tight regulation.
He is newly diagnosed and has been on insulin less than 2 months. For that he is doing really well! It's hard to say how long but just the fact that he is down in dosing from 2.5U to 0.75/1U is a good sign. Aggressive (but safe) dosing when newly diagnosed really makes a difference.

Why was he started on insulin more than a month after diagnosis? Vet wanted to try a diet change?
Btw, next time the Libre falls off/doesn't work and he is in green, try and get a reading with a meter, if possible? I would suggest you give TR another try. Let's hold the dose for now since we don't know how low he went yesterday. Let's take a call on dosing tomorrow? Looks like he's headed towards green again tonight.
I think you need to start sleeping in the first half of his cycle so you can be up in the second. LOL. The joys of a late nadir cat!
both had crystals when they were younger. They were both put on a veterinary urinary diet. They had wet and dry, but I found it was very high in carbs. The vet wanted to try a change to all wet before starting insulin to see if that alone would work. It brought his numbers down from 580 to around 400.
Was that the 88 at +6?
Night outs are quite difficult to do - and much more so with a job and kids. Do you think you could sleep and set an alarm for +8 or +9?I wish I could sleep during the first half, but I have a full time job and 2 kids who have activities. I'm a night owl by nature, but this is getting ridiculous
