Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the body loses its ability to control the sugar levels, or glucose levels, that are present in the bloodstream. Just like humans, dogs can also suffer from this disease. In fact, researchers estimate that about 1 in 200 dogs eventually develop diabetes. Canine diabetes can be dangerous for your dog if it isn’t treated properly; luckily, treatment has seen great advances in recent years and with the proper diagnose and treatment, your dog will be able to live a longer, happier, and healthier life.
