To avoid this problem, get your veterinarian's help to choose a balanced diet for your dog in the right amount to keep the dog at a healthy weight.

Diabetes is disease of the pancreas. Diet is important in the treament of the disease but does not cause the disease. Only a veterinarian can properly diagnose your dog. If you suspect your dog has diabetes, you must run, not walk to your veterinarian. I can't emphasize that enough.

Here's a good resource: http://www.ahofp.com/Guide/Candiabe.htm

Good luck.
