What is Diabetes in Dogs?
Diabetes is an incurable disease that affects dogs as well as people. There is approximately 1 in 500 dogs that contract Diabetes. Diabetes is a disease of the endocrine system caused by a deficiency of insulin. Insulin regulates how sugar is absorbed and used by the body. When dogs have Diabetes, it may be because their pancreas is not producing sufficient insulin, or their body cells may fail to respond to insulin. This means that they may have overly highly glucose levels in their blood, or that their cells cannot absorb enough glucose.
