The disease is still called diabetes in dogs and it is usually due to many of the same predisposing factors as Type II (adult-onset) diabetes mellitus in humans: overweight, lack of exercise, poor diet, genetic predisposition. Treatment is much the same as well: insulin, regular monitoring of the dog's blood sugar and routine checkups to monitor for the development of secondary conditions such as glaucoma or skin infections.

What happens with gestational diabetes?
Hormones produced during pregnancy can interfere with a woman's insulin production. She may need more insulin to process the glucose in her blood. Higher levels of glucose can cause hyperglycemia. Some women with gestational diabetes can control their blood sugar through diet and exercise, others may be insulin-dependent.
What is the predisposing factors of diabetes mellitus?
Type 2 diabetes: Obesity and Family History. Type 1 diabetes: Genetic. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be reduced significantly by drinking alcoholic beverages (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation. Large-scale research consistently finds a 30% to 40% lower risk of diabetes associated with moderate drinking. However, exactly how alcohol reduces the risk of diabetes has not yet been clearly established. However, new research has now demonstrated that alcohol improves the body's resistance to insulin, a problem of type 2 or adult onset diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes can't use glucose effectively because of their resistance to insulin. That's the hormone that permits glucose to be used by the body's cells.
