By its help the reference interval for feline GHb was established from blood samples of 62 healthy cats. It ranged between 0.31 to 1.58% with a median of 0.92%. 21 newly diagnosed diabetic cats were reliably determined to be diabetic, because the GHb exceeded significantly the upper limit of the reference interval of 1.30%. The statistical difference between diabetic and healthy cats was highly significant (p < 0.00001). It was confirmed that the GHb value helps to distinguish diabetic from transient hyperglycemic cats
