I'm not even going to TRY to understand what his numbers are doing today. I'm feeling like we are still at too high of a dose even at 3u's. Any thoughts? His nadir seems to be happening so late in the day too.

He has been getting small meals throughout the day:

AMPS (after test) 1/2 of a 5.5 ounce can
+3 ....1/4 can
+6.....1/4 can
+9.....1/4 can
PMPS (after test) full can split in half and put into two dishes (it slows him down a little)
 
I would test again. When you get an odd result (and dropping 400+ points in 3 hours is a little odd), test again to make sure it wasn't just a bad strip or test.
 
Reduction earned if that 79 is correct. Wanna try 2.5 next? Though it may be another BCS, depending where he is at PMPS time. I think you are right on the too high a dose due to the food switch.

Get a ketone test today?

What's a BCS? :) Yes, I did get a ketone test and forgot to record it. It was neg/trace...couldn't tell, for the life of me. With two other opinions we think it was somewhere in the middle. Yes, I think I'd like to see what 2.5 does to him if you think that could be appropriate.
 
Yo Rusty 2,
That was quite a splash into the lagoon. Surf safe!

A BCS is a "big chicken shot" -- a one-time reduced shot if you are apprehensive about shooting the usual dose.

BCS = big chicken shot, a temporary reduced dose like you did last night. Usually we would do a .25 unit reduction, but you keep on having to skip or do reduced doses and I'd like to avoid that. It's much easier to go up if the new dose is a little low.

So PMPS are 322...makes me wonder if the 79 was correct and maybe the 492 was the wonky one. Day before yesterday he had a green at +9 that jumped to a pink by PMPS as well. I think I feel okay shooting the 2.5 tonight.

In future, if a test number seems out of place, it's best to retest.

How is his appetite?
