What fructosamine level indicates remission for my diabetic cat?

Question

I have a cat who I have been treating for diabetes for about three months. Insulin given twice a day. Weight 13 lbs. 3 oz. She just had a Fructosamine Blood test and it came back 371. What is the number I hope to get to so maybe she will go into remission? She is getting 2 1/2 units of insulin twice a day. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 19 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Values and ranges differ depending on the lab. A fructsamine of 371 is excellent control. In order to achieve remission Kitty needs to be monitored closely by your Vet and should be eating a prescription diabetic diet like Purina DM. Sadly every cat I knew to go into remission became diabetics again with in 1 year. Fructosamine levels in 200 range would make be suspicious for remission. I hope this helps!
