I really waffle on this reduction. He’s so stable, I don’t want to mess with that! But I also wonder if giving a little less might help his pancreas step up a bit. Skinny the 0.5 vs take a full quarter unit reduction (smidgery!) His numbers are on the high side of green, but that is his comfort zone, for sure, so I don’t want to discount the greens just because there could be more in the 50-80 range..but maybe I should?…..ahhhhhhhhhhh I don’t know.

I feel for you.
I had similar dilemmas, I liked to see his nadirs a bit lower before I reduced, so sometimes I held the dose for longer than a week. But you have to be cognisant that you are pushing the boundaries and you can be overdosed by just a drop of insulin.
I tested a lot and was confident I wasn't missing lows, and George was/is a very good eater, so I knew I wouldn't have to face fighting low numbers with an inappetent kitty.
I never skinnied a dose, but sure that would be another option.
Some cats normal range is higher and so e run lower, I've seen cats in remission nadir in the 40s, George's normal range isn't that low.
How did Hermans bg run whilst in remisión?

He was rarely below high 70’s usually in the 80/90’s.

I think I’ve talked to myself into holding off on any reduction for now. 
Either way, I have one more cycle to truly qualify for a reduction so o guess I can change my mind but I think he could use a bit more support given this is his second time around and I feel confident that he’s safe at this dose given all the testing. Unless someone chimes in that challenging the pancreas to step up, actually makes sense!
