I know stress can lead to elevated blood glucose levels in non-diabetic humans, as well as being a factor for increased blood glucose in diabetic humans. This is a great reason for hamster owners to minimize stress particular in diabetes prone species and diabetic individuals as well as those with any genetic potential for diabetes, among all the other problems stress can lead to.

Because of this, I'd personally be wanting to do multiple tests for diabetes at various points in time with any suspected diabetic hamster just to determine whether or not there are other factors involved instead of diabetes itself.
