As long as you aren't having monstrous big leaks that might impact the machine's ability to sense and record events then yes.....people can have nice low AHIs pretty quickly.

Sounds great. Your treatment looks to be working well.

Things to do:
If you are new to CPAP therapy there are some helpful things to do:
1. Get a copy of your sleep study and your sleep titration study. They have interesting information that will help in understanding your own therapy
2. Get a copy of your prescription for your own records. It will be necessary if you choose to change DME's or order online
3. Post your equipment. There is a link on how to do this in my signature block below. Please select TEXT as a display choice as many CPAP machines and masks appear similar but are significantly different
4. If you need to post images of your reports, there is a link in my signature block on how to post using PhotoBucket.com
5. If you are using or want to know about Adaptive Servo Ventilator (ASV) machines, be sure to include ASV in the subject line
6. While the LCD display is somewhat useful, it is better to use one of the reporting software programs to get detailed information on your therapy. The two available for Respironics machines are: Encore (Basic or Pro) and SleepyHead. 
7. If you are looking for software, mention it in the subject line. In the text, indicate what operating system runs on your computer as that may affect what software is available for you.
8. If your machine is not made by ResMed or Respironics list in the subject line as "Need help with ZZZ Pap Auto".
