  Premal Darji yes..obesity surely adds to risk ...breeed predisposition- I will like to study that..and screen breeds more prone to diabitis..Then hypothyroidism adds to the disesse..so Hypothyroid, fat, and breed - screen such animals...

  Joseph Cyrus It's pretty prevalent in bangalore. Even in cats, I remember this one dog whose I could not control the blood glucose even with high doses of insulin, all it needed was antibiotics for the urine. Just as word or caution, please be sure to check if the vet has had a steroid shot earlier. You will be surprised

  Rajneesh Chandra there r two types of insulins one is regular which works.for up to 2 hrs and NPH which works for about 12 hours so in day time before meals use regular insulin and in night time use regular with NPH(before meals) since the immediate glucose source Will b assited by regular insulin while the glucose which is absorbed whole night after heavy night meals Will be utilized with the help of NPH insulin
