Never change a dose without talking to your doctor. What are you eating? And are you doing any exercise? That can drop your number real fast
I started taking a ten minute walk after meals and now I'm up to about twenty minutes. My numbers fall pretty fast from around 180 to 150 or so just after the walk.
