Re: 11/11 Milo AMPS/73 Dose questions?

I am home now, and I wil test more thru out the weekend, his amps have been low lately and I also agree that He has dipped below the 50's and I didn't catch it. He was diagnosed in June of this year so it hasn't been that long, (5 almost 6 months) ...do you think Im shooting when he is too low??
No, I don't think you are shooting when he's too low, you are doing great with that! Nice hooting tonight!
You just need to monitor a bit more closely at times. The data on his SS suggests to me that you might be missing some low numbers mid cycle.
A few examples...on 11/9, PMPS of 73 and a +1 of 70.....no food spike, that could signal an active cycle, and I would keep testing. In that case, try to get another test before bed, and if it's lower, you might want to stay up or set an alarm to keep testing. On 11/10, AMPS was 146 (which might be a small bounce from low numbers during the 11/9 PM cycle I mentioned before) and the +2 was 69....that's a BIG drop, a signal to keep testing! There was a lot of downward momentum, so it's pretty likely that he continued to drop after that, and may have gotten pretty low. I'm a big fan of +2 tests....it should be similar to the PS test, and often will give you a good idea of how active the cycle will be.
As odd as it may sound, I used to watch more closely when the PS was in the mid-blues, because Tinkles had more room to drop, so he would sometimes go much lower from there than from shooting a 70. When you shoot lower numbers, they tend to surf and stay flat, although not always. I would watch him pretty closely even when you shoot low now, because I really think he's looking for a reduction.
I'm not trying to make you nervous, just trying to give you a heads up to monitor a bit more so you catch the dose reductions. Milo is looking awesome, and you are doing great!
