There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, the most common form, is insulin-dependent and involves near or complete destruction of insulin-producing beta cells, necessitating daily insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes, known as non-insulin dependent, occurs when insulin-producing cells are present but insufficient, leading to delayed insulin secretion or insulin resistance, often seen in older, obese dogs. This type typically requires oral medications to stimulate insulin release, although additional insulin injections may still be necessary. Lastly, Type 2 diabetes can also arise from hormonal imbalances due to conditions such as pregnancy or hormone-secreting tumors.
