Simba's spreadsheet reflects his curve today, with a couple stray readings on 10/20 added. Am interested in any observations if I should just hold the 1unit dose, or make a change. Thank you.

Here is your last post for continuity, and for others to catch up on some history.

I don't see whether you have decided on SLGS or TR yet, path to sticky is posted for your convenience http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/...-low-go-slow-slgs-tight-regulation-tr.210110/
but would suggest if you can, try and get a before bed test, kitties often like to go lower at night. I see Sienne mentioned this previously, and it is good advice. My kitty does this, a few night ago as an example, he came down to 72, then bounced up to 300s the next day. If I didn't catch those before bed tests, I'd have thought an increase was necessary. You want to see how low this dose is taking Simba at night also
I'd hold the dose for the time being, numbers are actually pretty good seeing that you are using an AT2, and try and catch some before bed tests next week if you can.
ETA: apologies Mariella, I see in your previous post now that you are following SLGS. If you could add that to your signature, people will stop asking and giving you the sticky link
My comment above on holding the dose still applies....as well as getting a before bed test

Where is your test data from October 21 to 26th? You should at a minimum be getting two preshot tests per day. Spot checks when possible also help us see how your kitty is doing on this dose.
