Guppy seems to like to dive between +2 and +3. I wonder if when you see a big drop from PS to +2, whether you should make that +2 snack a little bigger to slow him down some more. Or slightly higher carbs. And in the day time when you go to work, if you see a similar drop, I'd add that +3 snack like you did last night.
 
Fed a LC snack with about 1/2tsp 15% after 56 @+5. Testing again in 30. @Wendy&Neko do you have any guidance with these fast dives? I fed about 1/2 a 3oz can (3%) at +2 and about a 1/4 can at +3. Should I start adding a bit of medium carb to his PMPS meal or +2 snack for now?

Thank you, fed another small spoonful of 15%, I'm hoping he starts going up so I can get some sleep. It seemed like he was more carb-sensitive until recently, and would respond to LC snacks more quickly. Can their sensitivity change as their bodies start to get more used to seeing normal numbers? Or is it just a result of the larger depot?
 
Carb sensitivity shouldn't be impacted by seeing normal numbers or size of dose. It's how the cat's metabolism responds to carbs.
