AM was great and PM is heading towards the greens. Will get a +4 but autofeeder is also set up for 1tsp LC every 2 hrs.
I've been feeding him less lately to try to maintain his weight. Currently he's eating 24 tsp LC FF = 1.5 cans = 135 cal. He was 7.5lbs when he was first diagnosed in September and vet said to shoot for a goal weight of 10lbs. He's currently ~12lbs (my scale isn't super accurate) but I think that's fine considering he used to be 16lbs a year ago. From what I've read online about how to tell if he's under or overweight, he seems fine to me.
 
That +4 is low,
Any chance you can get another test.
I know it's late, and you leave food out.
+4 is still early in the cycle and with some of the nadirs he has been getting lately he may be angling for a reduction.
I would suggest if a before bed test at +4 is as low as that you should give a snack and check the +4.5 or +5 at least to see if he is sustaining or still dropping.

If you cannot do that it may be a good idea to give some MC just before you go to bed just to sustain him and keep him safe.

oh no! i hope he was okay. I tried to stay up but was just too exhausted. I set an alarm for +6 but slept through it and didnt get a test until 20 min after the autofeeder fed him. He was 61.

He just had a green AMPS. Here's anew thread for today.
