solo Fructosamin Test
Summary
Patients with diabetes mellitus may be defined as having a disturbance in the oxidation and use of glucose for energy production. This may be secondary to decreased production or release of insulin by beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, or due to an abnormal tissue response to the presence of insulin. This disease is relatively common in both dogs and cats and is treated with insulin injections and dietary restriction. Regulation of insulin administration is important in controlling diabetes. Fructosamine is formed by the glycosylation of circulating proteins and is related to circulating glucose concentration. Fructosamine measurement can aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and in the assessment of blood glucose control in treated diabetic patients.
