Diabetes is a relatively common endocrine disorders of dogs that affects mostly small to medium size breed dogs. The treatment consists of regulating the dog's blood sugar by regular monitoring and insulin shots, the same as treating Type II (adult-onset) diabetes in humans. If your dog's diabetes is mild and relatively new, you may be able to work with your veterinarian to improve your dog's diet and exercise enough to avoid giving insulin shots and checking your dog's blood sugar.
The insulin shots are almost painless - the needle used is generally a size 22 or 25, about the size of the lead in a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. Checking your dog's blood sugar causes a little more sting in that you need a full drop of blood for the monitor; however, this too is a relatively mild sting. Once your dog is stabilized on a regular diet, exercise and insulin regimen, you may only need to check the blood sugar twice a day and give insulin once or twice a day.
