I have been trying to keep up with the board, reading everything I can, and I found it interesting about the full moon. That was it! I was sure of it, the reason his numbers at PMPS were going high these past 3 nights. Nope, guess not, his nadir is now at +3 and +4 instead of +6 and +7. I know this is supposed to mean something but the brain is not working lately. I feel I am back at N country. It seemed to be going so well, his AMPS numbers are still fine, but the early nadir is making his PM numbers too high. Suggestions anyone?
My DH is still not regulated on his meds, and now my Alley isn't either... Calgon take me away!

Any help much appreciated
As always, my thanks

I am sorry, I don't think I am going to be of much help here. It really doesn't make much sense, does it. Things that are going on in the house that aren't normal, his appetite...can all affect bg numbers. I am inclined to suggest raising the dose by one drop but he does seem to have done better on the 3 drops. But cats insulin needs do change, go up and down with some cats.

I am wondering too if there is a health issue of some sort going on. When you get a chance can you insert a profile. Here are the instructions:

It really helps to be able to get a history on the kitties at first glance.

Some of the microdose people will chime in I am sure. Tigger is on such a much bigger dose (well, not huge, but in comparison) that I can't imagine trying to get an in-between dose with these little drops. My hat is off to you. You and your DH are doing a good job.
 
Pam, you could try going to 3 and a half drops. His numbers look really good, except for those last 3 pmPSs. Not sure what is up with that. I really can't tell if he just needs to settle out of this (could be full moon and that is how he reacts - not all kitties go lower), of if he needs just a half drop more or less.

Maybe give it 2-3 days to see if it might be a FM effect? What do you think.
 
AMPS - 249
Sheila,
He is getting 12 hours, more or less, out of the Lev at night, just not during the day, and he had a 125 at +3 yesterday, so we are all stumped. I think we will ride it out until Tuesday because I am out of town this morning until late Monday night and my DH would prefer any dose changes to be done while we are both home, which suits me just fine.
Just when we thought it was going so well....

Pamela, copied instructions again on his profile, did it once and it would not work.
Will try again this week and ask for help if I screw up again.

Thank you, both so much

Just saw there is a new link just added...an adjustment of sorts to the old one since Google made some changes, so this should make it easier:
