04/29 Bambi AMPS 174, +5 55, +6 131, +10 153, PMPS 242, +3.5 208, AMPS 176, +2 181, +5 59

By +5, she has already dropped 100+ points which triggers bouncing. Rather than +5, which seems to be her nadir, you want to feed earlier in the cycle to reduce the diving.
 
Ok I will try +2 tomorrow but the trouble is she gets too hungry and wants another meal before evening PS which makes her go high at PS. Maybe a small snack 2 hours before PS too? Is there a low-carb snack I can look for besides wet food? Most treats I looked at all usually have very high carbs :/
 
While it's best to feed before the nadir when the insulin action is strongest, some cats do not like long gaps between meals. You can feed a small snack later in the cycle (but not within the 2 hour window before the shot) if that will make her feel better. Do you have anything lower than 4% carbs? Maybe some freeze-dried meat treats or cooked meat?

No, unfortunately, I had a really hard time finding even canned food lower than 8% in the form of pouches. Treats are even worse. I will look into freeze-dried, haven't looked at many of those. Thanks.

I remember discussing food with you but I don't remember the details. :-) No raw food options? Will she eat homecooked meat? You just need a little something for a late cycle snack. It need not be a complete meal.

There are a few raw food brands in Turkey but they're pretty pricey and I'm not sure if they are trustable. However, I can try it as a snack since it won't be the primary source of her meal. Homecooked is also a bit hard, I live alone and I'm Vegan so it's a bit weird for me :/
