It looks like we might've finally settled into a good dose for the moment - it feels good to finally be seeing so many blues!!

I know the TR protocol says for nadirs under 100, hold dose for at least 10 cycles before increasing. Is that 10 cycles from the last green nadir? How do I know if/when to increase?

That is 10 cycles in all. But when you're looking at numbers after a reduction, you'd give it 6-8 cycles to see what his numbers look like after he clears the bounce from dropping low. In Buster's case, he looks like he can go back up to 2.75U. Give him today to react the threat and unless you see green, take him up tomorrow. You want more greens, not just the stray high green.

Makes sense, thanks!!

He was 128 for PMPS and is now at 73 at +3. Just ate some Friskies pate

LOL. Not the first time a cat has reacted to the threat of a dose increase! Can you get a +4?

Yup! He just ate a loooot of pate. I imagine he’s gonna go up so a little less concerned now about him going too low LOL

LOL. For future reference, don't fill him up in active cycles. You want him willing to eat after every test to keep his numbers coasting.

Still at 74 at +4.5…gonna try to get some sleep and set an alarm to check on him in an hour or so

Staying nice and flat. Just feed him a spoon of food and you might be good for the night.
Hold the dose for now
