    • A blood glucose curve involves a days stay at the vets, at least. Blood sugar readings are taken at least every couple of hours, sometimes more frequently, to monitor how the sugar levels fluctuate during the day and how well the body responds to the insulin. I normally take a pre-breakfast and morning insulin glucose, then given them breakfast and their insulin and d every 2 hours from there. Insulin can be adjusted based on how your dog responds, however it will take time to get your dog stabilised and probably several blood glucose curves.Edit - Your curve should be done right away, because all the time you are waiting, your dog is an unstable diabetic.
