Re: Bud 6/10-11 pmps 368 0.4u +10.5 335
Hi Beth,
Just wondering why you went with .4U? I noticed we didn't really discuss new dose in last thread. It's a 20% decrease, so at least it's a decrease. I just don't know that it's enough of one. Since you're able to test quite a bit, I guess we'll know soon enough :smile:

Beth, I think the .25u would be better - allowed to settle for 3-5 days. I think the highs you are seeing last night and today are bounces from the low and too much insulin.
Your SS makes it look like you are where I was with Beau right before my "ah-ha" moment. It looked like .5u was too much, causing very low numbers, and .4u was not enough, causing 300+. When I figured things out, I dropped him to .3u using my drop method. I think .25u is probably close enough if you can't do the .3u.
I'm afraid that at .4u you will see all high numbers. It is enough to cause the high flat numbers, but maybe not enough to cause the bottoming out (32, etc) that you get on .5u. Then, if you react like I did for 2 months and raise back to .5u, you will get the very low numbers again. And so on.
