That looks like a great drop so far! I wouldn't be worried about that one at all. I would have grabbed a +5 or +6 and headed to bed last night

looks good to me! you don't want too much drop too soon, as that can be a sign of too much overlap, but some drop by +3 is a good thing! generally you also don't want more than maybe 100 pt drop per hour, so you probably wouldn't want much more drop than this, but this one looks good! sometime if you can get a +2 test you can see if the drop has already started by then (a lot of cats keep rising til +2 or so and then drop after that, so that would give you a better of sense of what the hourly drop might be at that point in his cycle)... no biggie on testing for that stuff though, just mentioning it for reference...

sugar, your #'s and dosing look just purrfect to me. i think you need a copy of "dear mom" to settle your nerves..anyone got a copy for her?
and FWIW, here's when you can begin to worry. anything under 70 at like +2 or +3, that's just an early warning to keep and eye, BUT not do anything yet. and a # like 70 at +6 or 7 is OK!
So smile and relax, your doing great.

Sugar you know we all felt the way you did when we first got here, nervouse, terrified, overwhelmed etc....
soon you'll be helping a newbie fresh out of the gate!
I did want to go over the dosing since squishly is doing so well and we've all said don't worry.
I don't want to assume you know that there are some #'s you will not shoot.
amps or pmps of 150 or less = no shot, wait and test an hour or 2 if fed later.
amps or pmps of 150-200 = reduce that dose to maybe 1/4 U, eyeball it if you have to.
for other questionable #'s ask here or on health.
I'm bringing this up becuase squishy is doing so well that is could very well happen and i'd hate to see you overshoot him.
