Ideal blood glucose curve for a treated diabetic cat. Insulin was administered at 8am.

• Normal blood glucose in non-diabetic cats is in the range of 2.6-8.4 mmol/L.
• The renal threshold is around 14 mmol/L.
• The goal is produce a blood glucose curve that approaches the reference range but avoids potentially fatal hypoglycaemia, for example 5-14 mmol/L for most of each 24-hour period.
