I'm attaching my spreadsheet and hopefully it's readable. I don't have Google Drive set up. A lot of notes in the remarks.
I reduced insulin to .5U since Feb 5th. Perhaps I wasn't testing at the right hours, but was doing a curve again and she dropped from 258 to 48 in an hour. I have her FF gravy and she was up to 69 in 30 minutes. She got .5U@8:30AM, looked good at 9:30AM and 11:10 she had plummeted.
She's not a big eater on a per meal basis. Is it possible that her small meal to carry the insulin caused the drop?

The huge drop is telling you the dose is too high. Can you eyeball 0.25 u? It would help us a lot if you would set up your signature - the light grey text under our posts. We need to know:
  • when she was diagnosed
  • what insulin you use
  • what glucose meter you use
  • what she eats
  • whether she has other health issues or meds.
This saves us from having to search back in threads to find this info before responding. Just go up to the upper right of this page, click on your name then click on "signature" in the drop down menu. A text box will open for you to type in and then save it.

It would also be helpful if you'd set up the spreadsheet we use here. The array of colours allows us to see trends very quickly instead of having to search throws rows and rows of small numbers on your Excel spreadsheet.

I'll update my signature and and work on Google Drive. I used the SS from this site so I thought the colors showed. I'm not sure why they didn't.
