Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the metabolism of the hydrates of carbon, las grasas y las proteínas causado por una deficiencia de insulina, It can be absolute or relative.

Insulin is a hormone secreted in the beta cells of the pancreas, whose production allows to control blood sugar (blood glucose levels). Insulin deficiency causes a deterioration in the capacity of tissues to use nutrients, that translates into an increase of glucose in blood (Hyperglycemia).

Diabetes is classified according to the disease in humans, that is to say, as type I and type II.

The type I It is characterized by the destruction of beta cells, What determines the loss progressive and complete end of insulin secretion. Los perros que sufren la Diabetes Mellitus de tipo I pueden tener un comienzo repentino de síntomas debido a la pérdida rápida de la capacidad de producir insulina.
