I dose ALK on the hour and CAL on the half hour and spread it out in equal doses the whole day.

Default programming...

what's your program look like ???
I assume you're using the OSC command...

I like the wizard how it auto calcs the dosage based on total dosage and time window..

I followed Jess's advice on dosing. With smaller increments throughout the day you get a lot less fluctuation and it creates a much more stable environment.
