Bedside glucometers (Figure 1) allow for rapid reliable diagnosis of hypoglycaemia on as little as 0.3ul of whole blood. Haemoconcentration can falsely lower the blood glucose when measured by point of care analysers and a low haematocrit falsely increases glucose measurements (Paul et al, 2011).
There are several situations when a BGC should be performed: (1) after the first dose of a new kind of insulin; (2) at 7 –14 days after an insulin dose change; (3) at least q 3 mo even in well-controlled diabetics; (4) any time clinical signs recur in a controlled patient; and. (5) when hypoglycemia is suspected.
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Interpretive Summary. Description: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is produced in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. It is a marker for both liver and kidney dysfunction. Decreased BUN . Common Causes • Chronic, severe liver disease o Portosystemic shunts (PSS) o Cirrhosis • Low protein diets
The normal blood glucose concentration in dogs and cats is 75–120 mg/dL (measured after food withholding). In cats, stress-induced hyperglycemia is a common problem, and multiple blood and urine samples may be required to confirm the diagnosis.

Hypogylcemia in dogs is defined as a blood glucose concentration of less than 3.3 mmol/L (60 mg/dL) and is a relatively common problem encountered in veterinary practice. This metabolic disorder can have an array of clinical signs, ranging from subtle abnormalities to a life-threatening emergency.
Firstly, the reading reflects blood glucose over the time since the last urination, during which the glucose may have been very low but also high – the urine reading will only reflect the period of hyperglycaemia. Secondly, to obtain a positive urine glucose measurement, blood glucose must be over the renal threshold (approximately 12mmol/L).
