Helps regulate glucose intake (diabetes mellitus)

Although diabetes has an incidence of around 0.2% of the population, it requires lifelong treatment. Of the 2 types of diabetes, the most prevalent in dogs is type 1, which affects insulin production, with type 2 being more common in cats. The propensity for developing diabetes is accentuated in older dogs. Identifying this pathology is not always easy, so monitoring for polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and observing weight loss and lethargy are indicators to follow, although veterinary tests are essential. It is comforting to know that a dog with this condition and the correct treatment: exercise, diet and insulin therapy has a life expectancy similar to that of a healthy dog.

A diet that is effective in regulating glucose intake should contain a low level of sugars, with the aim of minimising postprandial glycaemia. Nutritional management of blood sugar depends largely on fiber, whether soluble or insoluble, as it regulates transit, energy density and, in the case of fermentable fiber, better glucose tolerance. An adequate level of fats is also important, and to a lesser extent protein content, although a higher content than in a standard diet is recommended as a way of regulating the intake of fats and carbohydrates.

Again, supplementation with probiotics is very interesting, since type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing B cells and is autoimmune in nature, and the benefit that these provide due to their immunomodulatory effect and therefore the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus is being studied.
