7/20 Cali amps 68, PMPS 70, +3 52, +4 57, +5 63

@Bandit's Mom : Reviewing our protocol. If we hit another lime anytime while on current dose, would we have to take a reduction. I think we have 2 limes at this dose of 2.5 U, BG45 @+7 on 7/3 and continuing +12, BG of 44? [from Roomp & Rand].
Two other observations: 1] using the calipers is definitely giving us more consistent doses. 2] when Cali has a lower reading at AMPS and/or PMPS, I’m thinking to stay ahead of the curve [assuming I know which direction we are headed] that maybe 4% carbs may be too low. Perhaps I should go ahead and mix with a little MC to create a higher LC but still under 10%. 3] I like this dosage for Cali but we do have to sometime work harder/more tests to keep it there.
I know we [FDMB] may go up and down the dosing ladder to tweak dosage and food quantity/timing. Other than tests and more tests, is it just intuition that says maybe a lower dose might work today when in fact it was not adequate weeks before [all other variables constant]?
please advise as your magic works more times than it doesn’t.

That would be considered only 1 lime since it was the same cycle. You need 3 limes on 3 different days to earn a reduction.

You could try feeding higher % low carbs at PS when she starts below say 75 or 80 and see how that works for her.

The nature of FD is to go up and down in dosing. I don't think it's intuition as much as it's just following the numbers. You are doing great. I don't think there is anything that you aren't doing that you need to do. In fact, you are going above and beyond. I know it takes two of you to test Cali and it's not easy waking up night after night to test and feed! :bighug:
