So tomorrow I am doing my first curve. What should I know about this? I plan to take the first reading at 6 am, then feed/dose. He gets 1 unit of prozinc. Now, what time do I take the other readings at?

I have not done the spreadsheet yet. I do record the numbers, I just was waiting for my day off to do it. (Tomorrow)
 
When I take a curve, I go every two hours. I used to take one every hour, with Frank, but his sugar was rather volatile.
 
So my cat eats small meals throughout the day. I give him his wet in the am with a little DM dry. (Small handful). Then I water down the wet and he picks at it at different times. Is that going to mess things up? I also heard that I should do the tests every hour between the 4-6 mark so I can find the exact low point. I gave him his insulin at 6:18 am. I was going to test at 8, 10, 12, 1, 2,4, and 6.

You can feed normally. Testing every 2 hours is fine but hourly between +4 and maybe +7 would narrow down nadir for you. The nadir can move around.
