I was thinking that mittens dose was to low but i dont really know. I am having trouble figureing out if shes bouncing still i dont understand how a few weeks ago she was in the blue and now shes been pretty constant with her yellow numbers. I have a new bottle ready to open but im wondering if that will effect her numbers? Do i start with the same dose? Ive left the old bottle out overnight many times do i throw it out and use the new one?
 
You rightly adjusted the dose to 0.75u given that 63 yesterday during the curve. The ProZinc's life may be lessened by leaving it out multiple times but if the insulin is not showing an "floaties" or cloudiness, it's probably Ok. How long since you first used the vial?
If you start the new vial, stick with the same dose but do monitor first cycle to see what's going on just in case the old vial was losing some potency.

What you are seeing today is a little bouncing probably from that lovely green yesterday. Give the new dose some time (at least 6 cycles) and then re-evaluate.
 
Ive been using the same vial since i started this journey since July probably. I have probably a week left of the old bottle so ill use it up and start on a day that im off work. It may not be 6 days in tho im off weds and thurs For the holiday.

The high numbers before bed the last few days make me think that the vial is bad. I wont be home tommrow to montior durning the day. But my mom is. But she wont test her for me.

Given that low yesterday, I seriously doubt there is anything wrong with your vial. It may be getting close to it's potency duration but I don't think you are there yet. It's always a good idea to monitor with the first dose or 2 of a new vial.
