Identifying the reasons behind difficult-to-control diabetes in dogs

The difficult-to-control diabetic dog can be frustrating, but most patients can be effectively managed if the cause of poor regulation is identified and addressed. Once insulin-and client-related problems have been excluded, patient-related issues should be pursued. The cornerstone of these investigations is reliable serial glucose monitoring, either at home or in the clinic. A stepwise, logical approach should be followed so that straightforward problems are effectively addressed before more complex diagnoses are considered.
