1-2 TYLER AMPS-72/66+3.25/73+7/PMPS-77/76+3/75+6

Go Tyler! I think it's up to you whether you want to try a drop dose or try an OTJ trial. Here are the instructions if you want to try the trial.

Instructions for starting the OTJ trial
Start the trial on the next green pre shot.
If he/she is green at your normal test times, no need to test further until the next "PS" time; just feed small meals and go about your day. If he/she is blue at your normal "PS", feed a small meal and test again after about 3 or 4 hours. If his/her number is lower 3-4 hours after a meal, then the pancreas is working!
Post every day so we can monitor your progress and see if any tweaks are needed. He/she may have a sporadic blue number. Don't panic but post before you decide whether to shoot so we can have a discussion.
After 14 days of no insulin, we have a party!!
Sometimes the trial doesn't work the first time and we have to give a little more support in the form of resuming insulin. It's not the end of the world if that happens; we just give him/her the support needed. Our goal is a strong remission and it's better to take our time to get that than to rush into remission just to have it fail later on.
Good luck with the trial!!!
Once he/she is through the trial successfully, you enter a new phase. Your cat is still diabetic but has now become diet-controlled. Continue feeding low carb food in the manner successful for your kitty. If you decide to change his/her feeding schedule, let your meter be your guide to the best times to feed. Avoid medications with sugar in them and steroid medications unless they are medically essential. Continue testing blood glucose weekly for the first month and then monthly forever. It's a good idea to weigh him/her monthly. Weight should remain stable. If he/she seems "off" or sick, or is showing signs of diabetes (excessive drinking, eating, urinating, weight loss), test his/her blood glucose right away. Keep the teeth and gums clean and healthy; dental issues can bring a cat out of remission. If you see rising blood glucose numbers, it's time for a visit to the vet!

Hi Carla Thank you so much for this.
He is is still getting good numbers I think I might try the drop dose first
Getting that 104 last night surprised me .

One thing if you notice on his SS I don't have set times to feed him
I feed him whenever he comes to me and wants to eat
I usually test him before I give him that meal as you can see on my SS

I'm wondering if I should try to get him on a consistent feeding
schedule for his small meals.

Like right now I just gave him some at +3.25, tested him before giving it to him

He's snoring away right now and may not ask for food until about +6 or +7
Then sometimes @+8 or @+9 again

I probably shouldn't be feeding him a snack that late but he just won't leave me alone. So I try to give him only a tablespoon to shut him up
until AMPS or PMPS
I wish I could feed him @+3, +5, then +7 something like that
I see most members have set feeding times
So I'm wondering if the way I feed him will not be so good
What do you think

That 104 is still just barely blue and a normal number. It's up to you. If you feel more comfortable doing the drop dose, then do that. As far as feeding goes, I wouldn't change anything. He's been getting great numbers the way you currently feed. I free feed Furball. She gets a meal at AMPS and PMPS and then snacks on it throughout the day and night.
