As diabetes becomes more common among the human population, so it goes with dogs. Symptoms, treatment and maintenance are also in tandem.

Diabetes mellitus is caused by lack of insulin, the hormone that plays an important role in the body's sugar metabolism. Diabetes insipidus is caused by lack of vasopressin, an anti-diuretic hormone that controls water resorption by the kidneys. Diabetes mellitus is the most common type in dogs.

Diabetes mellitus is further categorized as Type I (similar to congenital or juvenile onset in humans) or Type II (acquired or adult onset in humans). Most dogs are diagnosed with Type II which requires insulin from an outside source.
