Have had an interesting battle with his dose...the cycle seems to work like so

I went down to .5u after breaking 40s on .75u.

Het gets greens for 2 out of 22 cycles, then creeps into the reds for the first time in a while. I bump him back to .75, and after 13 cycles dips hard into the 30s. I drop him back down to .5, and this time after 7 cycles he drops hard into the 40s. I've reduced him to .25u as of this morning, but my question is - where do you go from there? .25u in the needle barely seems like anything, can you draw a finer dose than that?

Your thoughts are welcome.

If you read the Sticky Note on Insulin Care & Syringe Info: Proper Handling, Drawing, Fine Dosing you'll see we have a dose we call 0.1 units, pictures in the document. And for kitties that aren't solid green by that point, we usually suggest a drop dose. Push hard on the plunger, insert into the pen/vial/cartridge, let the vacuum pressure suck up a drop.
