With the new dose, I was uncomfortable shooting to 84 at PMPS.so I fed and waited and then shot to 122 one hour later. This morning I shot AMPS a half hr. later than normal, trying to get back to a normal schedule.

I was pleased with all the blues on the 7th and 8th Oct., but not so happy with the 84 PMPS. I am wondering should I have stayed at 7U, or only increased it to 7.5 U ?

I'm not sure how to reduce the dose, or even if I should, and if I should - by how much.

Shoot low to stay low. I was skeptical when I first started doing it, but Jack tends to stay pretty flat when I shoot low. It can be a little tougher on the bean having to do some late night tests until you learn how TiTi responds. Looks like you've shot lower PS numbers in the past so you have a little data to see how TiTi responds. With Jack, I'll shoot anything over 50 as long as I can do some monitoring.

To put it into perspective a little, remember, when we first start (down at around 1U) we do increases in .25 unit increments.....so going from 1U to 1.25 is a 25% increase in dose

Once you get to (for example) 5U, increasing by .5 unit is still only a 10% increase in dose

So going from 7U to 8U is totally reasonable

That is reassuring. And she is doing very well, but I was not happy to shoot at PMPS, because her numbers have been all over the place. Quite frankly that's my fault - 2 missed to very late shots, and 2 substantial kibble raids. Well, I was not responsible for the Pancreatitis - that seems to be a periodic event.
Also it had been a long and tiring day - I knew I might not hear the alarm, so it seemed wiser to wait to shoot. But she seems to be headed that way today as well, so I'll get some night time numbers to help understand what's going on.

I should have mentioned as well, that today she really did seem 100% all the ps in place, and quite active.
