Numbers have been going up and up lately so bought fresh insulin. Hopefully this helps. If not will raise dose up to 0.75 in 3 days.
 
I'm not sure that the issue is the age of your insulin. I suspect that Harold needs a larger dose, You were seeing better numbers with more insulin.

I'd also encourage you to give some thought to getting more comfortable with shooting lower numbers. Harold is not newly diagnosed and you've gotten really good at testing and shooting. You will likely see better numbers if you don't skip shots or drop the dose because Harold is seeing lower than expected pre-shot numbers.

Yes, I think we lowered the dose to quickly. That paired with tho occasional missed shot led to this disaster. That being said, the insulin is also super old, have had it since he was first diagnosed.

It has been a really bad month for Harold and I, but once I am all done moving and settled in December I will doing a more "Tight Regulation" approach.
