Diabetes Mellitus Overview

What’s diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes occurs in the pancreas, which serves two vital purposes in both dogs and cats: it makes the enzymes required for digestion, and produces hormone insulin. Hormone insulin is responsible for regulating glucose in the bloodstream and delivering it to the body’s cells. Diabetes mellitus occurs in cats and dogs when the pancreas fails to regulate glucose levels throughout the body.
