Previous thread: Venya, OTJ 1 month on vet’s advice, AMPS 120-145, should I restart a drop?

Thank you all for your replies and advice, it really helped! I tested for a few more days. Mornings were 119, 121, 128 and 130, evenings 104 to 110, and +3 stayed around 85 to 94 in both cycles. Since his mornings are still mostly above 120, I’m restarting the drop tonight.

He eats at 8am (AMPS), 12pm, 4pm, 8pm (PMPS) and midnight. He had no lows on the drop before, so I’m planning to keep this schedule as is, but let me know if you think something should change.
 
How big is the meal at 4PM compared to the rest? The other times look good. Feeding later in the cycle like that might have an impact on his numbers with less insulin action by then.

It’s about 27 kcal, a bit over half of his main meals (48 kcal at 8am and 8pm). He gets really hungry around +8, and that’s also when he gets his enzyme supplement, so I’d rather keep it there if possible. His PMPS have been around 103 to 117 on this schedule since late September.
 
Well, good. I guess just something to consider if you do end up wanting to tinker. Maybe smaller snack there might bring those down to green. I give Pookey something like 10-15 calories around that time.
