Generated by vetconnect® plus: fructosamine page 1 of 2 fructosamine interpretive summary description: fructosamine is a complex of glucose and protein that can be used to assess the average blood glucose concentration in a dog or cat over the previous 2-3 weeks… Serum fructosamine level is a reliable and easy way to evaluate your cat’s response to insulin therapy. fructosamine forms through the binding of glucose to proteins in your cat’s blood stream. the higher the blood glucose, the greater the amount of fructosamine formed.. Glucose and fructosamine testing in pets allow a veterinarian to monitor a diabetic cat or dog. here’s what you need to know about these important blood tests..

The normal reference range for serum fructosamine is determined in healthy dogs and cats with persistently normal blood glucose concentrations. interpretation of serum fructosamine in a diabetic dog or cat must take into consideration the fact that hyperglycemia is common, even in well-controlled diabetic animals… However, if the fructosamine is within the normal range, we might be missing subclinical episodes of low blood glucose levels. even the most astute pet owner may not be able to detect when a pet’s blood glucose level is low based on behavior.. Normal blood glucose range. according to the cat practice in birmingham, michigan, the normal blood glucose range for a cat is between 75 and 159 mg/dl, though the number may climb higher if the cat is stressed or frightened. blood glucose levels are ruled by insulin, the hormone produced by the pancreas..

The majority of diabetic animals will not always have optimal control of blood glucose thus fructosamine concentrations are unlikely to lie entirely within the reference range. single fructosamine measurements should be interpreted in the light of clinical signs of diabetes, body weight and blood glucose concentration.. Reference range. a serum fructosamine (a glycated protein) level, similar to a hemoglobin a1c level, enables assessment of long-term glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. normal values vary in relation to the serum albumin concentration and are 200-285 µmol/l, when the serum albumin concentration level is 5 g/dl..
