Chapter 1: What is Diabetes?
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.
The mechanism of diabetes works like this: the body cells obtain their energy from a sugar named glucose. The body cells first break down the carbohydrates from food, and then they extract glucose from the blood using insulin, a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas. The problem in diabetes is that the cells aren’t able to take in enough glucose. In a diabetic dog, either the special cells of the pancreas do not produce enough insulin or the body cells are no longer able to recognize it. As a result, your dog’s blood sugar rises to be much higher than normal. Even though the blood sugar is very high, the cells aren’t able to get any glucose and end up starving while the organs that are soaked in sugary blood get damaged. This will lead your dog to eat more than usual but still lose weight.
In addition, the excess blood sugar is eliminated through your dog’s urine, which leads the dog to drink and urinate a lot more than usual. 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.
