Glucose....this is the measurement of the cat's blood sugar level. Several things can influence this number. Diet, medications and the time the blood sat before the testing was done.

For Zilla, these were not factors and her glucose level was fine.

For cats with diabetes, the blood is better if tested immediately using a glucometer (a human one is fine) or done as part of a chem panel in the vet's office within a short period of time. Other wise you will not get an accurate glucose reading. For a pet or person receiving insulin, this is critical.
