Just like humans, our fur babies can also become diabetic. Diabetes can look a bit different though.
Dogs develop one that's closer to Type 1 and cats are similar to Type 2.
There are some that believe diet can reverse their diabetes and revolves around carb restriction. However, treatment is different especially for dogs. Diet and nutrition alone usually won't work. In cats, some can go into remission with diet, but thats combined with medication.
Nutrtionally though, it's recommended for a dogs diet to be high in fiber and carbs, and avoiding simple sugars. For cats, their diet should be high in protein and very low in carbs (though that's also the normal diet for a carnivore). Kibble is high in carbs, so canned food would be best.
