its usually 3 to 4 hours,..if you take a look at New To The Group sticky
you'll see a chart of a typical curve and how insulin is working thru a cycle.
Example of a typical curve:
+0 - PreShot number.
+1 - Usually higher than PreShot number because of the last shot wearing off. May see a food spike in this number.
+2 - Often similar to the PreShot number.
+3 - Lower than the PreShot number, onset has started.
+4 - Lower.
+5 - Lower.
+6 - Nadir/Peak (the lowest number of cycle).
+7 - Surf (hang around the nadir number).
+8 - Slight rise.
+9 - Slight rise.
+10 - Rising.
+11 - Rising (may dip around +10 or +11).
+12 - PreShot number.
however, depending on what carb % you feed and sensitivity of your cat (data collecting will show you this over time in both cycles, especially evening cycles) numbers can vary.
hope that helps!

What Ronnie posted is the "ideal" curve. If you look at Gabby's numbers from today, she had a drop in her numbers within a hour after her dinner and shot. There was no food spike. Other days, there's a food spike and numbers follow a typical curve. A great deal depends on your cat, whether you're shooting a rising or dropping number, probably the lunar cycle, and just what mood your cat happens to be in. Oh, and whether you have to be somewhere -- that's a definite time when numbers will drop unexpectedly. In other words, ECID and every cycle is different.
I wonder if I could ask a favor. Could you keep one page of your SS where you keep all of the weeks consolidated? When I'm looking at a SS, I'm looking for patterns. Having to shift between the pages of your SS doesn't let me capture the big picture.

October is basically a mess from changing the food to low carb canned and attempting to lower the dose to the proper amount ... which didn't really work. So I restarted from .25 units and have been working up, roughly 3 days (6 cycles) at a time.
There may be a pattern, once I get him to a stable dose - which may be around 1 unit, looking at this evening - but there isn't really one yet because he hasn't been on a long term stable dose.
