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.
