No, I wish I could offer insight.

Thinking out loud...
Was anything different on the day he had the 79?

If you can't figure out a reason for the 79, safety would dictate reducing the dose (per SLGS) or at the very least maintaining the dose and hope he doesn't bottom out while finding out how low this dose is taking him.

Actually I'm not reducing dose with one off low numbers anymore. I've learned with experience with treating Silver after three failed reductions. I don't reduce at one random low number. I maintained the same dose.

Nothing was different that day.

That's risky business given Silver doesn't have food available mid-cycle to bring his numbers up on his own, but I believe we've discussed that already and I have no desire to debate the issue again. I imagine you don't either. :)

Darn. I was hoping there was an easy explanation!

You just need to look at this numbers that have been over 200 ever since to prove it was the right decision to hold the dose rather than decrease. If I see no green on the next curve he will be due an increase. You said yourself in this post that holding was fine. I have no one advising on dose so I have to make my own informed decisions here.
 
I think you're making good decisions for Silver :) I've been holding Merry's doses longer for a while now because he seems to need more time to adjust to his doses & his numbers have been really good (except his yellow yesterday morning, silly kitty). There's been a couple times where I could have decreased but also didn't want a failed reduction so held the dose to see how things would go & one time I ended up having to increase so it would have been a failed reduction.

Thanks Luanne. I think Merry and Silver are very similar in their responses. Been watching your ss with interest.
