? 10/24/20 - Wally - AMPS=179,+6=474,PMPS=433,+2=439

He definitely is dropping during the night.
Last night's readings: PMPS=532, +2=476,+3=341,+6=112,+9=100

And I fed him a little LC FF after the +6 and +9 readings.

So do I keep him at 1.75 or go back down to 1.5?

You are following TR and you've held the 1.75 dose for 10 cycles. Think it's time for an increase to 2 units.
Why are you thinking of taking him down to 1.5?

Because he's bouncing on the 1.75. He's going low and then bouncing so I'm wondering if going back to 1.5 would prevent the big drops and keep his numbers more stable.

Lantus dosing is based on nadirs not on whether cats bounce or how high they do! Bounces are annoying and will ultimately stop. You want to take Wally to a dose where he sees healing greens.

Ginger will bounce either when she hits numbers she’s not used to or when she drops too quickly. I agree that an increase is needed with TR as it’s been 10 cycles.

Okay - I'm upping him back to 2 units BID. Fingers crossed....

Fingers and paws crossed here.
