    Bell has been wacky tonight again, its all on the SS, I know she has earned a dose decrease but Im just not sure if I should do 1.75 or just go back down to 1and work back up if needed, this is so frustrating and scary, Im afraid if I hadn’t intervened tonight when I did at the rate she was dropping things would have got real bad, any advice greatly appreciated!

    1.75. You did a good job steering up. She was probably close to her lowest and since you use a human meter, so still had wiggle room. That bottom number on a human meter is 50. 66 was actually a nice Healing number. Next time don't try to raise it so quickly. Just a little of her reg low carb food to help her sail on the greens for a while. :)

    I see there are a couple times she had a blue preshot. Once you Skipped and once you have 0.25. Next time you get a low preshot like that try stalling for up to an hour without feeding and see if the number is going up..... You may find in that short time it goes back into yellows.

    Thank you for your advice. We are gonna try the 1.5 for awhile, any idea on how long to wait to see how she does on it?
