Want to make sure I am testing at right time?

Hi everyone,

So, for the last week I have been fasting Cheynne 2 hours before amps and pmps. And free feeding in between. I feed him right after bg test and before giving his insulin.
Is this correct? Also on the hock's food chart, should I be concerned more with %of carbs or % of carbs as fed? Find that confusing also.

Thanks again for all your help.

Perfect.
Some people use the distraction of having kitty's face in the food bowl and shoot while they are munching, but afterwards is fine too. I used to wait till Bob was finished and cleaning himself and he rarely noticed the poke.
I am not familiar with the food chart, so can't answer that question. On Binky's lists, the "% kcal from carbs" is the one you would go by.

You always want to use the % as fed. What you want is the % of calories from carbs, not the % weight of carbs.
