Happy Sunday Everyone!
I'm hoping some wise folks will help me decide if I should raise Phoebe Squeak's dose. I've been thinking of doing it for the last few days, but early AMPS numbers have scared me off.
@Sienne and Gabby (GA) and @Wendy&Neko said I needed to get more info about the PM cycle so I got a few more tests last night. The only other thing that was different last night was that I had the auto feeder give her 1/4 can at PM+9 (and then turn to an empty bowl at PM+9.75 so she wouldn't eat 2 hours before her AM test).
The AMPS number was higher this morning, maybe because of the food at PM +9? I'm a bit worried about her PM cycle going too low if I do an increase, but I'm still thinking I should do it. All advice and thoughts appreciated.

My point yesterday was to try to get some tests beyond +2. The +2 test may tell you if it's going to be an active cycle. It doesn't always yield that information. Cats do not like to be predictable. I was also encouraging you to follow TR, if that's still what you want to do, and evaluate the dose every 6 cycles.

It looks like Phoebe's nadir is around +5. If you stop testing routinely before nadir, you may not know whether to reduce the dose or if it's safe to increase for that matter.
