As you might have discovered if you read our article on whether or not it is safe to feed your dog a vegan diet, the way dogs evolved alongside humans means that they are actually considered omnivores, meaning that they can digest and absorb some nutrients from fruits and vegetables.

Type 1 is an insulin deficiency and the body doesn’t make enough insulinType 2 is more of a resistance to insulin as the body produces enough but it isn’t being used as it should Type one is the most common kind found in cats and dogs, although it can be harder to tell the difference between the two types in pets.

In the cells, the sugar is converted into simple sugars (such as glucose) and then absorbed into the bloodstream.

Once in the bloodstream, the sugar…
