Tough call this morning.
On the one hand, I really, really, really wanted to get a few good cycles in at 8.5U to see if his numbers would stabilize, especially with both of us here to monitor.
On the other hand, the spreadsheet tells the tale. There's too much lime green. As much as I want him to remain in these amazing stretches of green numbers, I can't ignore that he's dropping under 50 twice a day and that the drops are not small ones but are instead deep into shark infested waters. I can't be complacent about that 33 last night, no matter how much I want to be selfish and keep him in these under-100 numbers.
After much deliberation & a long talk with OH this morning, I opted for a BCS dose of 4.5U instead of his scheduled full dose of 8.5U. I decided that in part because Jenks was only up 40 points in 6 hours after gravy, karo, and food, and in part because my gut told me he'd just dive into the 40s again sometime this afternoon so we'd just be delaying the inevitable.
It's entirely possible he'll need another BCS for the PM shot before we resume a full dose.
It's also possible that this will put an end to his green runs, which is probably why I've been avoiding it as long as possible.

Good call on the BCS, Jenks seems to be on a roll of late and battling lows with a larger depot is no fun.
