Life Expectancy With Diabetes in Dogs: How to I...

With disciplined insulin therapy, a low‑glycemic, consistent diet, and tight home monitoring, many diabetic dogs live 2–5+ years, sometimes approaching breed‑matched lifespans. You’ll improve outcomes by minimizing glycemic variability, preventing...

Senior Pets & Diabetes: Special Considerations ...

Senior pets process glucose differently due to age‑related insulin secretion decline, sarcopenia, and comorbidities (pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism), so you’ll see subtle polydipsia, lethargy, and feline neuropathy (plantigrade stance). Prioritize routine screening:...
