Yes it could. That is why we don't increase dose on a bounce number because when the bounce clears you may have too much insulin on board and the bottom drops out (breakthrough), if you don't reduce your dose on a breakthrough and keep shooting your regular dose she will go into protection mode and dump her own sugar to counteract the insulin. Vicious cycle.
I've never heard of that with PZI. The reason you don't increase on a bounce from a steep drop or low numbers is b/c the dose is too high, and you don't want to stay with a dose too high, and also you don't want to perpetuate wide swings. With liver training, you don't increase the dose, b/c you don't need to. You got greens, your dose got you greens, so you stay with it, unless back up to the top of the statement, you have reason to believe the dose is too high.
Yes, if you have wide swings raising the dose b/c of a higher PS is a bad move, it will tend to amplify the swings, make the rebound worse, and be a vicious cycle.
But if you don't have wide swings or low numbers, there is no cause to reduce the dose. If you reduce on a breakthrough, from everything I have seen with PZI and my own experience, all you do is lose the breakthrough.
If you are making too much progress so to speak, and the nadirs or PSs are getting low, or you can see they are headed that way, if say you are stairstepping down the PSs and you want to move to evening it out rather than moving down in the numbers, then yeah, you want to reduce. But if you reduce due to a bounce from liver training alone, all you are doing is losing your opportunity in most cases.
I'm not saying don't lower your dose if you get 120 PSs, of course there are times when you reduce the dose, but in this case, I don't see a steep drop, or anything that would even start a vicious cycle.
Sorry, I am very grumpy and may not be making sense.
