    Any time someone comments on your post it gets bumped to the top of the forum. I typed Bump so that your post would go to the top and hopefully get more eyes on it :)


    It might also help if you put. ‘?’ Icon in front of your title to do that you go to ‘edit title’ at the top right of your post. Just in front of the text that you typed for your title there is a drop down menu. You can choose a ? From there. It might get more eyes on your post :)

    I'm not one of the dosing peeps but, the 50 you got at PMPS +5 on 1-19 would definitely make me hold this dose a bit longer.
    Hopefully someone will be around soon to give you some advice:)

    I would think you hold here on TR too. Those are nice greens on this dose and the 1.75 dose showed it was too high with that (38). Don't you hold if you are seeing greens and wait to see if you are clearing a bounce with those higher numbers...? Guessing if you are not a newly diagnosed diabetic though it might be different
    ( mostly curious here)

    He’s a long-term diabetic so his reduction point is a drop below 40, a week in normal numbers, or three drops between 40-50 on separate days.

    He was getting into green nadirs on 1.5u so I’m glad you didn’t do more than fatten the dose. Remember with TR that if we go back up, we don’t go back to the dose that got them in the 30s so you did a good job just adding a bit of fat.

    As hard as it is, you have to ignore the bouncing. Don’t let the bounce steer you in the wrong direction. Focus on the nadirs. I’d hold this dose six cycles and see where he is. If you haven’t seen any green at all, it’s been long enough since the low numbers at 1.75u that you could try it again especially since you have fattened the 1.5u dose.

    Sound good?

    Are we sure its just bounces? Because on 1.75 he wasnt boucing as much. Too bad for those low numbers because his numbers were amazing.

    And yes that's what I will do :) keep the fat 1.50 for 3 days and go up to 1.75 if there is not improvement :) thank you

    Yes, they are bounces. ;) It’s not uncommon for the bounces to seem more prevalent on a lower dose but, again, it’s really important you dose on the nadir and not because he’s bouncing.
