Veterinary Blood Glucose: Understanding Blood Sugar Levels in Pets

Blood glucose, also known as blood sugar, refers to the main sugar circulated in the bloodstream and transported throughout the body. It is the primary source of energy for all cells that require fuel to function, especially the brain, muscles, and organs. Blood glucose is monitored and regulated by several hormones, including insulin. In pets, just as in humans, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is essential for overall wellness.
