SUMMARY:

The main characteristic of diabetes mellitus is chronic hyperglycemia triggered in domestic mammals due to an absolute or relative absence of insulin. In birds, the changes that cause the disease to appear are not fully understood, but it is believed that in granivorous birds due to their pancreatic particularities, the hyperglycemic state is a consequence of an excess of glucagon. Serum fructosamine is commonly used as an identification parameter of chronic hyperglycemia in dogs and cats to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus, however its use in the avian clinic is limited by the absence of reference values. In this study, 30 healthy specimens of the true parrot will be used for serial measurements of fructosamine with objective of determining the reference value of the species and thus contributing to the detection of persistent hyperglycemia and collaborating in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus in these birds.
