In many pets, the disease can be controlled with insulin injections and dietary management, with periodic visits to the veterinarian for blood and urine tests. As with people, checking the actual blood sugar is the most important test. Often the insulin will need to be given in divided doses, typically twice a day. It is important to make sure the animal is eating properly before automatically giving insulin. It is also important to keep your veterinarian up to date by maintaining careful records of your animals weight, insulin requirements, and appetite.
Regular checkups are essential.
