Hercule's mum

Hercules is driving his mum crazy!
He wasn't responding much to 0.5 insulin, so I was going to increase him to 0.75 this morning but decided to be cautious, and just gave him a "fat" 0.5, which I estimate to be about 0.6. And... we hit green
To make sure it wasn't an "odd" reading a read again with alphatrak2 (which gave me 5.2). That would also be "leaf green". Gave him so food on gravy to help it out and meassured half an hour later: 5.9
I understand I am supposed to drop 0.25 U, but should I really when he is already in such a low dose? Would that be to go down to 0.25 tonight? I also imagine we are going to have a bounce, so perhaps make sense to return to 0.5?
Please advice, I am lost!
