"Using only pre-insulin blood glucose measurements at home to adjust the insulin dose to maintain glucose in the range of 6.5–11.9 mmol/l, 47% of cats achieved remission, but 40% of those cats relapsed. A minority (16%) of cats were hospitalised for hypoglycaemia."

Shame the authors did not recommend mid-cycle tests in the conclusion.
Thanks, Larry
