For some reason I can't get his chart to load. You can look at Skipper's chart for ideas. I seem to remember not shooting under 200 as a general rule but it has been awhile.
Let us know what you decided and how things went. These low numbers are good news. I remember when that happened with Skipper. Remission came quickly after that for us!

Ss loaded for me this am..maybe a google docs issue. Anyway, I think your .5 dose was good. Interesting that he dropped once and then again for pmps. Wonder if his pancreas is kicking in a little.

Re: Dosages last night and this morn
I gave him only .5 last night out of concern of his dropping under 200 all of a sudden. Seemed a pretty hefty drop to me but I know nothing. He was 238 this am after fasting and decided to stay put with .50 to see how today's numbers go. I understand it takes awhile for adjusting so if he goes back to the 300's I would go back to 1 unit I think. Unless just middling 200's I might try to get a 100 unit syringe and do like suggested to do small increases and decreases. Maybe around .75.
When Smudge went into remission the first time it was a crazy numbers ride. But he had dropped soooooo low that giving insulin was not an option even though the Vet was still advising insulin! This time he is higher but then again I am not giving him the big doses like before.
I think Google is having issues.
