amps 61 so I withheld shot....thoughts?

Yesterday morning I raised him from 2 to 2.5.
Yesterday he was amps 180, pmps 180 and +6 177.
This morning he was 61, so I didn't give him any insulin. I am going to recheck before I am supposed to go to work. If he shoots up to 150 or more after eating his breakfast, I will give him some, but I don't think the whole dose? What are your thoughts? thanks for the help...of to get ready for work...

 

He was 139 at 7am, so I gave him approximately 0.5 units (maybe a drop less) befroe I left for work.

 

That increase from 2 to 2.5 seems to be too much. You may have skipped over his optimal dose by increasing 0.5 instead of 0.25.

 

I shoot on schedule. If Chester is too low for a shot, then he doesn't get a shot until the next scheduled shot. No guessing or half measures in between.
I'd try a dose of 2.25. If 2.0 wasn't quite enough, and it appears that 2.5 was too much, then the next logical step is 2.25 - at the regularly scheduled shot time.
Chester's been rising 2.25 for quite a while now. Some days he goes a little high. Once in a while he throws a low. The rest of the time, he's doing OK. I know that when he throws a low and misses a shot that the next shot will just be high - but that next high is usually only for that one next shot. Then he's back to a reasonable range for a while. I don't give half-doses or partial doses in between shots. I just don't like to guess with insulin.

That reminds me - I need to get back to updating his spreadsheet regularly...

 

BJM, you were right. The kicker is the vet usually wants me raising in halves, and he said the opposite this time:
