Expert Answer

Canine diabetes is incurable and only managed with insulin and diet; left untreated, the dog may rapidly decline and die. Once diagnosed, prepare insulin and inject daily to control blood sugar.

Also feed diabetic prescription food, exercise daily, and control weight. If complications like cataracts, urinary infection, or seizures appear, see a vet.
