Serum fructosamine measures the glycation of serum proteins (principally albumin) and provides an accurate measure of the average blood glucose concentration over 1-2 weeks (dogs) or 1-3 weeks (cats). This can be used to monitor diabetes mellitus therapy as well as for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. It is particularly useful in cats for differentiating stress hyperglycaemia from more persistently elevated blood glucose levels, and may be of some use in the diagnosis of canine insulinoma. The fructosamine concentration is affected by hypoproteinaemia and hypoalbuminaemia.
