I think we can work with this!
We reduced Jenks to 10U last night. This is for several reasons. First, there's a suspicion that he was suddenly getting too much insulin. Second, we needed to do something to temper some pretty wild swings in his blood sugar readings. Third, his PM nadir has traveled beyond the following day's AMPS, so backing off the dose was necessary to make sure he didn't go too low once the AM dose kicked in while the PM dose was still having action. Finally, we've been bouncing around doses lately, so we needed one that would allow at least a few cycles of monitoring. So far, things have calmed down a bit.
Jenks had to come down from 266 last night. He only managed a 40-point dip in the first seven hours, followed by nearly 100 points in the final hours. That momentum again carried his nadir way beyond AMPS. It's such a moving target, we're having trouble addressing it properly.
But today's numbers have been pretty awesome. It looks like a normal cycle, with him coming down low but not too low. He's shown a tendency to blow up in the final hours of the AM cycle, so I hope he can hold these low 100s instead of going to the 200s for PMPS.

Very pretty cycle there Jenks!!
