Time for a dose increase?

Trying to decide if I need to go back to .25 after a week of .1 doses. I am stopping all his Friskies food (5%carbs) and will only be giving FF (2% carbs) hoping that the change might cause a drop in numbers but, based on what I'm seeing this morning, I don't think it's going to make much of an impact (although it did several weeks ago). Previously, he was getting 1/2 FF and 1/2 Friskies for his first 2 meals and FF only for he last 2.

It just seems like his drops aren't as dramatic and he's reaching nadir more quickly. He has had 2 days with evening nadirs at or slightly below 150 but I wasn't able to monitor during the day. I doubt he will get that low today and suspect he hasn't for the past few days.

Looks like on the 30th he went lower. See how high the PM went? And it looks like he is breaking the bounce this cycle. Glad you have a long weekend where you can get some good data that will help you to decide if an increase is in order.

Bobbi, do you mean on the 29th he went lower (below 150)? If not, could you explain what you're seeing on the 30th? You all are so good at seeing things that I don't so just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Are you thinking the high numbers might be a bounce and that there is still hope that he might come back down? I'm so discouraged after this mornings readings. His nadir was at +4 and he's already back in yellow. No swims in the lagoon for him today.

So, is your thinking that I should stay on the .1 this weekend, even if he continues with the higher numbers? My only concern is that I will be reluctant to increase on Tuesday, when I go back to work. I would want to push an increase until next weekend.

Yes, I am sorry, I meant the 29th. He hit those nice blues during the PM cycle and he started upwards from there. I think when I looked at the SS a few dates were missing and my eye lost it's place.

He could have hit a green that cycle, but we don't for sure.

The 214 today at +5 is the same number as the +4 basically. He looks like he is trying to bring it down. I would give him through this cycle and if he hasn't hit a green, I would increase and that gives you 5 cycles to see how he does with the increase before you return to work.

I was giving him the benefit of a doubt that he went lower on the 29th PM cycle , but it might be the best plan to increase tonight for the reason I said above.

Buddy, there is a dose crease warning out! LOL.
