AMPS = 76.
During/after food 15 minutes later = 79
Yesterday in the middle of the AM cycle, I was thinking of increasing for the PM cycle and both @Chris & China and @Wendy&Neko advised me to wait the full 6 cycles before increasing. And I thought: I bet Ming will get low and make a fool out of me since historically, whenever I wanted to increase early, Ming would get low the very next cycle haha
And loooow he went!
I had meant to take a +4 reading last night but I fell asleep and the alarms I set weren't enough to wake me up. I had 4 alarms set on my phone. I usually also set up my desk alarm but I didn't so yep. I woke up at +9 and did a reading and was surprised to see 139.
My mom and I had initially planned for her to shoot in the morning to let me sleep in. After seeing 139, I thought I'd wake up for his AMPS. I, of course, did not hear my alarms AGAIN and my mom started the AMPS process. So that's why you see on the title that the second reading was during food. I woke up and went down and saw him eating, heard my mom say he's at 76. So I did another reading for the heck of it and got a 79.
We shot 7.5 units 10 minutes later. I'll be testing him soon in a few minutes just in case.
Edit: Also, we've been doing this for a while now but my mom usually does a reading 20 - 25 minutes before shot time. And feeds within it. It's because my mom (her words) is slower and needs the time to prepare to give Ming his insulin. She's still a little afraid Ming will bite her after that one time he did so she gives him a lot of pets and sits with him. So I've adopted this timeline too even though I've been advised to give insulin within 5-10 mins of eating. For us, it's probably within 15 and up to 20 mins of eating. I personally don't think it's too much of a difference but let me know if you think otherwise!

Before feeding him at +3, he was walking around, meowing for food and to go outside. 
Glad you had the day off. Sorry Ming is feeling off, been a long time since he’s seen these sorts of numbers so his body isn’t used to them.
(I'm through with wishing he doesn't bounce because he will lol)
