I tested him this morning +8 and he was already 359. I was 50 min. late for his shot and I got the "hi" msg.
He mad mostly pinks yesterday. Should I persist with the dose I've been giving him so his body gets used to the dose?I've been giving him a fat 1u for the past 2 weeks.
Thanks!
 
A couple of days ago, it looked like the 1u dose was good, and he had a decent cycle that went from black to 360ish PMPS. You shot the 1u again, and tested overnight at plus 6 and he was at 139, but then he ran really long and you had to wait to shoot in the morning (that can mean the dose was too high on that PS number).
Then you stuck with 1u into a low yellow, and it looks like that was too much. At +6 he was higher and kept going up. Last night the 1u gave you a black HI this morning, with no obvious deep drop. So if he's bouncing, it seems to be from that night of the 7th, and should be just about cleared.
All of that looks like the dose is too high, or you might need to adjust the dose down on the lower PS numbers.
In that thread, you mentioned that you were thinking about talking to the vet, in case something else might be going on that isn't really obvious like an infection or something. Have you talked to them?
The last 3 or 4 cycles look like a bounce. If so, it'll clear and you can stick with the dose, or cut it back a little to stop it from happening.

Thanks Carl for your detailed response! :mrgreen:
I haven't talked to the vet yet. I actually even forgot about it to be honest with you :oops:
I think you are right, I will reduce the dose tonight. I have tried 0.9u for 7 days straight, and 0.75u for maybe 4 days straight.
I wonder if I should start from 0.75u again or 0.9u.I'm also wondering if I want to reduce the pm dose only or both. Sam is mostly higher during the day, he doesn't usually see a whole lot of blues, especially greens..!
Decisions decisions.. any thoughts on that? Maybe 0.9u at night and 1u in the morning? or 0.75u at night and 0.9u in the morning? :-|
 
I think I'd go with .75 both AM and PM, but if you see a number under 300 at shot time, I'd go even skinnier, like .5
