At high readings, combined with inadequate administration of insulin, and not eating or drinking enough, or an infection, animals can sometimes quickly develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which is immediately life-threatening. Always check urine for ketones at high readings. Of course, cats at much lower levels who have inadequate insulin supply coupled with infection, dehydration, or fasting can also develop ketones. Others apply the "under 200" for dogs at all times without exceptions. See hyperglycemia.

abstract
  • At high readings, combined with inadequate administration of insulin, and not eating or drinking enough, or an infection, animals can sometimes quickly develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which is immediately life-threatening. Always check urine for ketones at high readings. Of course, cats at much lower levels who have inadequate insulin supply coupled with infection, dehydration, or fasting can also develop ketones. Some vets use a "sliding scale" regarding maximum permissible blood glucose values in dogs, "allowing" blind dogs or dogs with cataracts to use the concept of remaining under 250 at all times, with sighted dogs and dogs without cataracts ideally under 200. Others apply the "under 200" for dogs at all times without exceptions. Cats are quite resilient to high blood glucose compared to dogs, and some cats lead reasonably normal lives at levels between 200 and 350 all day long. Neuropathy and other long-term effects can still build up over time, though. Evidence from humans, mice, and in-vitro tissue studies show that damage to the pancreatic beta cells (the ones that make insulin) continues down to levels as low as 140mg/dL.. This is why the AACE guidelines recommend average blood sugars (for humans) of no more than 170, preferably between 65 and 136. See hyperglycemia.
