    What is this cat doing? He is flying down the dosing scale but still bouncing like crazy and not having any 2 cycles look the same. He has been all 7 colors in the past 7 days. And he has had 3 decreases counting tonight's anticipated drop to 0.25u! Is my girlfriend overdosing? She has done the last 2 am's. . . Is this something anyone has seen before?

    Fill a syringe with coloured water that both of you can refer to in giving and maintaining a consistent dose. Some people use calipers.

    Mowgli pulls these kinds of stunts from time to time, I would say you can chalk it up to classic bouncing!

    I personally don't know how to do it properly, but some people play around with when they give certain foods to try and 'steer the curve'. For example feeding a higher % carb LC food earlier in the cycle in hopes to prevent a quick and hard drop and then a lower % carbs LC food for later in the day to prevent an abrupt stop to the insulin action. Maybe something you could ask about sometime if you're interested :)
