Numbers all over the place!

Since the hypo incident I have been trying to get her numbers back to being somewhat more predictable and in a better range again.

The .25 worked the first cycle, but not the second. That obviously was too low so I tried the .50. The same thing happened where the first cycle was pretty good, but the second was a total dud. So this morning when she was back in the mid 400s I went ahead and raised it to .75. Now she is at 95 4 hours later! Way too big a drop! I don't know what to think.:banghead: At least she's not at a dangerous number, but I will watch her to make sure she doesn't drop under 60 over the next few hours.
 
You can try to soften those big drops by feeding her some when you shoot and then a little more in about 2 hours to keep the cycle flatter. Then a little more around +5. Sometimes that works to keep the levels higher
 
I usually do feed her a couple hours after her shot and totally forgot today. I was really tired and fell back asleep for a few more hours after her shot. So that could very well be what happened today. Do you think .75 is a good dose for her at the moment or should I back off to .50 for a few more cycles?
 
As long as you can get a number around nadir, the 0.75 looks good to me (for a pink - I'd do less with a yellow). The nadir came early but it was in a good safe range.
