And it sure ain't summer time.
Here's the deal. I looked back over the past few months of his SS. A LOT of 40s on there, and those are just ones I happened to test. I generally did 1.2U, but there were some higher doses on there too. I'm mainly looking at SS page 3.
So it shouldn't be surprising that he's done OK on 1U. But now he's horribly swinging even on the 1U. I know I had dropped the dose the other week but I couldn't stand to see 300s, so I went back to 1U. And am still getting 300s, mostly after good previous preshot BGs in the 100s. I can't seem to catch him low, not like I can tell work to go fly the coop, although I'd really like that. I came home early today so I would be able to get home - drove through drifts that could easily have put me in the ditch. Good thing I got those new tires a while back.
Anyway, I had to shovel out my driveway, but in between bundling up, going out, shoveling, coming back in to disrobe and rest, then bundle up again to go out, I noticed he was eating. He went to both his feeder and the bowls in the kitchen. Of course, cats eat more when they've been high too and he wasn't "parked" (sitting down and eating every last bite) but when I finally got around to testing at +10, he was 392 on my OTU mini.
Although I've only gotten that 53 the other week as evidence he gets green numbers on 1U, I will drop the dose to .9U or .85U tonight and give it a few days. The weather is wacky again so MAYBE that's a factor, but when I see those 40's from months ago (August up to when he had P-titis) and the fact he's swinging severely on 1U I think he may be getting too much now on even the 1U.
It's the only thing I got before I go the blood work route.
