Oh my, PMPS of 101. That's low for me, especially with a 5.25U dose on deck. The last two nights he's dropped 70-100 points in the first couple of hours. I'm going to hold him for about 15mins to see what he's doing. Any advice would be awesome.

Don't feed him, ok? Give him 20 mins and retest and let's see where he is.
I'll wait for the next test.

Right.
Well....he's clearing a bounce and so it's likely he will continue down if you shoot. I'm not a fan of shooting a reduced dose or stalling a shot because, with the depot, you will still very likely see the same cycle as if you shoot the 5.25u dose. The effects would not likely be seen until a later cycle. Also if you stall, he could start dropping to where you would feel it necessary to skip.
Normally if we suggest you shoot, we stay up with you and help you through the numbers. I'm not able to do that tonight as tomorrow is my one work day. I know you've been handling his low numbers just fine the last two nights.
It has to be your decision because you've already been up two nights and you will likely be on your own... I can check with Wendy and see how late she will be up. There's no telling what he might do. If you skip, he will get back on track within a few cycles.

Thanks Marje. I'll make a judgment call and be up all night to watch him. If something appears awry, I'll just steer him. Part of me feels like 5.25 has suddenly become too much. So I'll figure out whether to shave or back off to 5.0U. Thank you for sticking around though
Have a great night!

Yes...you can use HC food and karo to steer him. You've printed off the "Handling Low Numbers" post (link in my signature block). If you use Hc/karo, and he comes up, keep with the testing because it usually wears off after two hours. You want him to be high green at least and have two, rising, no food influenced numbers before you stop testing for the night.
Wish I could stay up to help you. If you do get in a bind, post here or on Health. There are often late night lurkers and the East Coast crowd is usually on at about 2 our time.
Good luck.

Thanks again In the spirit of shoot low to stay low, Jenks got his full dose. He'll either balance out and coast at safe numbers like he's done the last two nights, or he'll reveal that this dose is now too potent. Either way, it's pajama party time.

Hope you have a good party and a safe 70ish surf.

Good shooting tonight! Paws crossed for some excellent surfing. Jenks SS the last couple days is almost all below renal threshold so this dose is doing a great job.
Sorry I can't stay up, but I'm getting up early tomorrow morning. As someone whose cat got into the higher doses, I just want to reiterate that the mantra shoot low to stay low also works for higher doses. The dose is just a number and the goal is time in green so you just have to find what that dose is. For some contrast, Rick shot 17U into Mr. Grey tonight with a PS of 66 and yesterday Suzanne gave Cobb 31U with a PS of 58 and had a lovely surf overnight. Both cats are on way more insulin than Jenks, but still show the point that the size of the dose doesn't matter when deciding whether or not to shoot a green PS.

121 +1.5
170 +3
189 +4.5
Still blue as we approach +5, but it's been a steady rise from PMPS. Either I completely blew his cycle by stalling him for 30min because of my apprehension, or he's bouncing off of his PMPS number.

Great job shooting, though. Think what he would have done if you hadn't.
