Like in humans, diabetes in dogs is becoming more and more common. Often, also like human diabetes, dog diabetes can be avoided with proper diet and exercise, but this is not always the case. Once the animal is diagnosed with diabetes, medication will usually be necessary, but diet also becomes more critical and can reduce the amount of medicine required.
The best diabetic specific dog foods use ingredients that mimic the way a dog would eat in the wild. Dogs generally eat meat. They prefer fresh kills if available but in leaner times with scavenge rotting carcasses or even eat insects and worms. As a last resort, dogs will eat certain plants, but this is rare. One thing you didn't see included is any cooked foods.
Humans learned to cook certain foods to make it easier to chew and digest. Over time we began to cook everything up to and including fresh fruits and vegetables. Cooking food destroys nutrients and damages the protein structure. Certain fats are even rendered toxic. The same effects have consequences for dogs also.
When it comes to dog food, there are few laws that regulate what can be added to the mix. The result is a less than healthy product to say the least. Commercial dog foods are full of fillers that can barely be considered food. The substances that are food are cooked for hours into a liquid broth before being formed into the croquets with which we are familiar. Needless to say, nutrients suffer from this cooking.
The best food for diabetic dogs will avoid these issues. Unfortunately few main stream manufacturers offer this type of food. Often owners must formulate their own dog food to meet the needed requirements. A balance of raw meats, bones and certain plant matter is the best.
After several weeks on this healthy, raw diet, you should see noticeable improvements in your dog's health and energy level. Often, diseases viewed as chronic and "incurable" can be reversed or even eliminated. Insulin dependence can be drastically reduced and in most cases can be ended altogether.
