Fearless has been on 1U for 10 cycles (since 4/30). Except for 4/30 when he was bouncing off the 66 the previous day (when he was still on 1.25U), his nadir has been under 200 (and a couple of times under 100). Is it time to go back up to 1.25? I'll check back tomorrow morning before I shoot.

He got to the low60's yesterday. That doesn't leave much room for an increase. If you can continue to test frequently, you might be able to fatten the dose to see if that kick starts more greens.
 
I'm with Wendy. I'd wait a bit longer before pulling the trigger.

Any chance you can get a mid-cycle test at night anytime soon? Many cats go lower at night than in the daytime, and to have a little data from there might help fill in the picture.
 
I figured that if he was testing in the 300s at his PMPS and waking up in the 300s he was probably not dipping too low during the night. Is that a false assumption?

Yes, some cats can go from a red to a green in the same cycle. So it is always a good idea if he starts in the 300's at PMPS to at least get a test in before you go to bed to see what is happening.
 
Did that for 3 days (before yesterday), and the +2 and/or +3 were also in the 300s.

Sure, I can pull a fat 1U this morning.

I love your picture of Fearless looking at himself on the monitor. That is adorable! Or if not himself, then another cat. Cute!
