Early treatment of diabetes in dogs is important because there is no cure for diabetes. If the disease is not treated, the dog will eventually die. The pet is usually put on special dog food that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates. If the dog is overweight, it will need to lose weight.

For dogs with Type I diabetes, a diet high in fiber and complex carbohydrates is recommended to slow digestion and the release of sugar into the bloodstream. In most cases, for both dogs and cats, a raw diet is best, or at least home-cooked.

Regulating the blood glucose levels (sugar in the blood) is the key to controlling and treating the symptoms of diabetes. Without a properly controlled diet, keeping the blood glucose levels within acceptable limits is impossible. This is because any food that your dog eats has a direct impact on its blood glucose levels.

Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is known to be a risk factor for canine diabetes. Pancreatitis can be genetic but can also be a result of feeding fatty foods such as pork and other meat products. Feed your dog a healthy, balanced dog food and restrict extras to fruits and vegetables.

Animals with Type 1 can no longer make insulin, often due to an auto-immune condition. Diet can play an important role in the management of both types of diabetes, but it should be used along with medical management and diet will never replace the need for insulin or other medications in diabetes for dogs or cats.

Gene therapy is a treatment that involves altering the genes inside your body's cells to stop disease ... Gene therapy replaces a faulty gene or adds a new gene in an attempt to cure disease or improve your body's ability to fight disease. Now on to the study that was recently published in the journal Diabetes. Scientists in Spain used gene therapy to put dogs with type one diabetes into long-term remission.
