AliVet DIABETIC-DIET

Special purpose of the Diabetic Diet:

Regulates glucose supply (Diabetes mellitus)

Dogs suffering from diabetes need insulin for the rest of their lives. Their diet should also be such that the animal’s blood sugar level remains stable. The DIABETIC DIET menus contain exclusively pure, human-grade-quality muscle meat and forego grains. Highly digestible muscle meat is a source of healthy amino acids and omega 6 fatty acids without putting undue strain on the pancreas. All DIABETIC DIET menus contain elevated levels of natural crude fibre from vegetables, fruit, and herbs for a more regular transit time of the food through the intestines, thereby ensuring that nutrients are continuously released into the bloodstream. Another additive is blueberries, which are the subject of in-depth research and contain secondary plant substances – first and foremost anthocyanins – that play a supportive role in the fight against diabetes. Artichoke leaves, aloe vera, and cumin are known to keep the blood sugar level stable, prevent so-called “sugar peaks”, and have a positive impact on the cholesterol level. The fenugreek contained in these menus reduces blood sugar levels and is therefore considered antidiabetic. Lupines are also said to lower blood sugar while also providing valuable amino acids. Sage and thyme support the animal’s health by supplying a range of antioxidants and secondary plant substances. Ginseng is known for its positive effect on diabetes and ability to lower blood sugar.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease caused by an endocrine disorder. Diabetes is categorised into type 1 and type 2. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, while type 2 diabetes is characterised by a resistance against insulin, meaning the hormone’s efficacy is reduced or even eliminated. Type 1 diabetes typically presents in young animals with a genetic predisposition as well as in animals with a slender build. Type 2 diabetes is known as “adult-onset diabetes” and most commonly occurs in senior dogs as well as in overweight animals. In adipose patients, this type of diabetes may be reversible once the animal goes back to its normal weight. If insulin levels are too low or the hormone does not take full effect, the body’s cells cannot take up glucose, causing a massive rise in glucose levels in the blood. In addition to polydipsia (excessive drinking) and polyuria (excessive passage of urine), classic symptoms of diabetes include reduced physical performance, polyphagia (increased appetite), and later, cataracts. Possible triggers of diabetes include obesity, genetic predisposition, pancreatitis, and the administration of glucocorticoids. Today, however, excessive weight is considered one of the main causes for the increased incidence of so-called “sugar dogs”.
