Possible still a bit of depot left yet from the higher dose, but he's looking like he really wants to work this dose.

We're hoping he continues to present greens. The fact that he hasn't seen a pink/purple in two weeks now is amazing.Possible still a bit of depot left yet from the higher dose, but he's looking like he really wants to work this dose.

He's still dropping pretty low... should we reduce again? He started his PMPS at 56, and at +2 he was at 55. While technically it isn't below 50, we aren't going to be getting many more tests in for the night so can't be sure it won't go down to much father before it starts on its way back up. Just not sure exactly how to handle the reduction. The instructions seem more "art" than "science" so I'm just trying to work towards understanding it.Possible still a bit of depot left yet from the higher dose, but he's looking like he really wants to work this dose.
I'm glad you decided to stay up and keep tesiing. Are you giving high carb food and/or syrup/honey to get him over 50?
I'd reduce to 6.0 units in the morning. What you might be seeing is some glucose toxicity (a type of insulin resistance) breaking. Meaning his body was getting used to higher numbers so you had to increase to get over it. Now his body is used to those lower numbers. When glucose toxicity breaks, you can see them earn a few closer together reductions. The larger depot influences 4-6 cycles after a reduction, but since this is the 4th cycle after the last reduction, I'd reduce again. Plus he seems to be lingering in those below 50's.
He's really telling you he wants that reduction.

And yes, I had picked up some gravy lovers wet food (figured if we're going carb emergency, we're goin hard.) and gave him a half can of that mixed with his normal low carb wet food. Also gave him a couple of higher carb treat pieces.
But, man, we kept telling him we wanted lower blood numbers and he really took it to heart!
