I know on the 111 I he was a little short (15-20 minutes) of feeding 2 hours before PMPS. Does not waiting the full 2 hours affect BS?

Yes, then it's possible that the PS was food influenced. You might want to note in the comments when that happens. Even better if you can avoid feeding him towards the end of the cycle since feeding after the nadir can reduce duration. However, some cats cannot tolerate very long gaps between meals. In those cases, you want to feed as close to zero carbs after the nadir.
 
Noted on SS. Now, we're feeding 2 hours before shot time. Will push back to 3 first and if that works, will try 4.

12:45pm - fed 1/2 can FF pate
2:00 @4.25 - 90
3:00 @5.25 - 83
4:00 @6.25 - 84
4:10 - fed 1/4 can FF pate

Looks like Tango hit a few blues once the depot from 1.5 cleared? With that, he only had 3 and they were low 100s. Hope greens are back to stay.
 
I would try not feeding later in the cycle and see if that helps. Till when in the cycle does he get food at night? Do you leave food out before you go to bed and pick it up 2-3 hours before AMPS?

PMPS 89

What's the latest you suggest feeding in the cycle?

Tango gets 4 cans a day - pretty much has been this way since diagnosed. He has maintained 14lbs. He doesn't always eat all that he gets.

Here is feeding schedule:

7:15 am - 1/2 can Almo Nature - pick up at 7:30
9:30 - shot
9:35 - 1/2 can Almo Nature
Between Noon and 6pm he gets another can (FF Pate or Weruva). Either 1/4 or 1/3 every couple hours.
7:15pm - 1/2 can Almo Nature - pick up at 7:30
9:30 - shot
9:35 - 1/2 can Almo Nature
Bedtime - he gets 1/2 can to eat when he wants
5:30am - 1/2 can in autofeeder
 
He seems to have lovely green AMPS-es despite eating 2 hours before. Maybe he just needs to go back up to 1.75U to get rid of the blues and bring his numbers down.

Is there a reason you don't shoot at 7:30am/pm since you seem to be up anyway to feed him? Just asking because then you needn't stay up very late to get tests in the PM cycle.

Shooting at 7:30 would be better as far as managing our sleep. This would work for the am but not for pm as there are more times that we aren't home until 9ish. Really don't want to increase. Let's see what he does today. Going to see if feeding a little less and not so close to end of cycle make a difference.

It's not unusual for cats who are making their way down the dosing ladder to pause or go back up briefly in dosing before resuming their slide downwards. See what he does with the change in meals times, but an increase might just be the impetus he needs to resume downward momentum.
