Did you know that dogs can have diabetes? Diabetes can affect dogs of various breeds including the Labrador. As with people, there are also two basic types of diabetes in canines known as Type I and Type II diabetes. Type I diabetes is when there is a shortage of insulin. Type II diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t know what to do with the insulin it has, which may also be referred to as insulin resistance. Type I and Type II prevent a Labrador’s body from converting glucose or sugar into energy and instead sends excessive amounts of glucose into the blood stream. Hyperglycemia may occur as a result of large amounts of sugar in the blood. When there isn’t enough insulin, fat and protein reserves may be used as alternative energy. To determine what type of diabetes your Labrador has you will need to consult with your vets Middletown, DE.
