Six healthy and eleven diabetic cats were included. CGMS iPro2® (Medtronic) was placed in the dorsolateral neck area. For calibration glucose measurements were obtained every 8‐12 hours with a validated portable blood glucose meter (AlphaTRAK2®, Abbott). Glucose measurements by the iPro2® were achieved every five minutes. Day and night were defined as the time (approx. 12 hours) between the insulin injections and/or feeding. The mean glucose concentration, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) were determined to assess glycemic variability. Additionally, the minimum and maximum glucose concentration were identified. Data were analysed by nonparametric tests (P<0.05). Values are reported as median and range.
