? Patches numbers jumping around

[Callie & Patches]

Can someone check Patches spreadsheet? I just can't get his dose figured out. His AM & PM numbers are irregular. I think he should go up to 2 units, but I am afraid of increasing when his preshot numbers are sometimes low. Thank you for any help you can give.

that reduced dose of 1.5u on 3/14/PM rocked the boat a bit. It also resets your cycle count. So tonight is cycle 2.
SLGS guidelines are to hold a given dose for 1 week and then run a curve to evaluate how low the dose takes your kitty and based on that decide if an increase is in order.

I agree with Sandy. You got some nice greens on 1.75u and I understand you probably gave a decreased dose because of the lower than usual, am I right?

The higher preshots might be a reaction to lower numbers. Either Patches went lower later in the night or dived. I would have continued testing on the night of 3/14 to see where Patches was going if you were able to. He probably went lower than 97 and so that's why his PS was higher + the reduced dose.

Keep it up! You're doing well. Even if you were doing TR, I'd still stick with 1.75u.

Using off brand test strips in your meter doesn't give you the best picture either, of what is going on.
