If I were you, I would follow up with periodic glucose tests. Yes, stress can increase the reading, which is why my Meika's vet ignored her test last July of 143 (during pre-op for dental); yet 7 months later her glucose shot up to 563, and they diagnosed diabetes, and put her on insulin. If they hadn't dismissed that reading, we could have found this out sooner. Now we are trying to get it under control, and it can take a long time. We've only gotten her down to the 360-400 range so far in 2 1/2 weeks of insulin.
It should be around 100 (a little lower or higher is norm). I agree to keep your eye on it, and also watch for other symptoms. One thing I learned about canine diabetes, is that it can come on quickly, as it did in Meika's case. Once it starts cataracts develop quickly and lead to blindness. Have your vet check his eyes for cloudiness on the lenses.
You might want to lean toward food that is higher in protein and low carb (grain free, potato free) with low glycemic carbs. One I am trying now that looks very promising is Dogswell Nutrisca, which uses chickpeas and pea fiber for low carb.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
