Insulin therapy

Canine diabetes is caused by a lack of available insulin. Your diabetic dog’s insulin concentration must be restored with daily insulin injections.

Looking after your diabetic dog’s insulin

Insulin is a fragile substance. Incorrect storage and use of insulin may mean that it does not have the proper effect.

• Insulin must always be kept in the fridge – only remove it when drawing up an injection.
• Insulin must not be frozen – freezing destroys insulin.
• Always store the insulin in an upright position.
• Gently invert the vial a few times before use to re-suspend the insulin.
