Yes they most certainly can. They need to be treated just as people are.

Also, certain breeds of dogs are more prone to weight gain (particularly lap dogs like Pugs).

My dog does not, but Diabetes is a relatively common endocrine disorder affecting a large number of pet dogs every year. It is more common in the small breed dogs.

Only the vet can diagnose diabetes; but if the dog is drinking lots of water and peeing frequently, you may need to get him checked.

Dogs can be trained to sense sugar levels in the blood. There are many dogs taught to alert an owner of a high sugar level, so they can take medication (Insulin)
