Hi all! Meat continues to impress with his ability to test black. We're thinking of sticking with 2.0 units this week since we dipped to 85 on 8/14 (we test using AlphaTrak so that's about as low as you want to go). I'm going back to work this week so we won't get any tests in between AMPS and PMPS so don't want to risk going too low. When we do go up we're thinking of getting an auto feeder to give food around +4. Would love any thoughts based upon a peek at Meatball's spreadsheet. We took it easy on testing yesterday since he was black so no mid cycle data. Thanks!
 
I'm certainly no expert on dosing, but I think I'd probably stick with the 2 units too.

The 515 at PM on 8/14 could have been a bounce from the 85 earlier in the day, and on 8/15, he continued to slowly come down, so may have been working on clearing that bounce.

Then on 8/16 you had the 160 during the AM cycle, so Mr. Liver might have bounced you right back up into those icky black numbers and it's just going to take time to clear those bounces

Since you can't be around to do any mid-cycle tests during the day, I think I'd stay at the same dose too

I think the idea of the auto feeder is good too...especially for you since at least you'll know there's food available for him while you're not home and worrying what his BG is doing. One of the first things I've noticed about China when her sugar starts to drop is that she starts looking around for food

Meatball sure is being a challenge!
 
I agree with Chris' observation -- it seems like there's a whole lot of bouncing going on. I know it's tempting to not test when you see a high pre-shot -- especially during the PM cycle. The best way you can tell where some of those high numbers are coming from is if you grab at least one test per cycle. It will tell you if a bounce is going on or if it's clearing.
