BG Curve-Am I doing it right?

[Cat Ma]

Doing a BG curve today and hope I am doing it right. I understand I am to test every two hours for 12 hours. My cat has been OTJ for a week so far and hopefully will stay that way.

The first testing I did this am was before I fed her. Am I supposed to be feeding her every 20 or 30 minutes before each test?

2nd testing took 4 tries. Still getting good #'s (70s and 90's with some in the 120s. I wonder if I even need to do a curve while OTJ.

You don't actually need to do a full curve when a cat is OTJ because the reason for doing a curve is to see the effect that the insulin is having over the full 12 hour cycle. It does sound as though you're getting good numbers though!!

Thank you! My cat will be thrilled I won't be poking her the rest of the day!
