A mini-curve is the minimal information you need to determine the effectiveness of a given insulin dose. It consists minimally of 3 blood glucose readings: one reading at shot time, another at peak time, a third at the next shot time. For this to be informative, you must first have done a few 12-hour curves to know the typical peak time of the particular insulin in the particular patient. Another source recommends four readings for a mini-curve, the extra reading between peak and final shot determines how well the insulin is controlling blood glucose after peak.
