I would treat if BG stays over 15mmol-l for several days, when risks of producing ketones and progressing into a DKA may happen. Hopefully, as the pancreatitis improves the dog will become less resistant to insulin. It's not unusual in severe pancratitis

as an update - was inj soluble insulin 1.5 iu i/m (15 kg dog) after 6 hours into treatment and 2 hours post injection Bld Gluc 10 mmol/l. Eating again after 12 hours treatment.

Rechk next day, glucose within normal limits as was 2 days later

Have other cases that went on to develop full DM post pancreatitis

Wait and see, treat the dog, not the lab tests. A short period of hyperglycaemia isn't going to harm, maybe check again next week, but it is unusual as treated 2 this W/E having done bloods and a positive snap cPLI
