A fructosamine test can help you and your vet determine your cat's average glucose level over about two weeks. The numbers don't correspond exactly to the glucose numbers you get from a glucometer, so you need a chart to convert the numbers to the equivalent numbers from the glucometer.

Here are two charts that will help you convert the numbers. These charts are only guidelines; don't take them as absolutes. While there is a relationship between a fructosamine test and a glucose test, the relationship between the numbers will vary between individuals.

If the normal range on the fructosamine is between 250 and 400

Fructosamine Average BG
250 120
300 150
325 180
350 210
400 240
450 270
475 300
500 330

If the normal range on the fructosamine is between 200 and 350
