    Hi all,
    Since Oz's level dropped to 162 last night, is it possible that it's from 5 days at the new dose of 1.75u?
    We tested him 3 times in a row & had 154,167 & 162 readings last night. I've been told that when the level drops low the body
    gives extra insulin & causes the bounce, so can we keep giving him his 1.75 dose?

    Thank You
    Ian

    I answered on your other post. I'd go back to 1.5 units and get more mid-cycle data, especially after 3-5 days on that dose.

    Increases are done based on the nadir, or lowest glucose. You really haven't got many mid-cycle tests and appear to have increased the dose based on the pre-shots.
