Fructosamine

About this test

Shows the average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 weeks, so one stressful moment doesn't skew it. It helps confirm diabetes, especially in cats, whose blood sugar jumps with stress, and shows how well a diabetic pet is controlled.

What it measures

• Fructosamine

Good to know

• No fast is needed, which makes it easier on diabetic pets than a fasting glucose.
