Our goal is to elevate the standard of care of diabetes in dogs, to that which is routinely provided to humans with diabetes. We hope to achieve this goal by adding a very short-acting insulin, Lispro, to the NPH treatment regimen. Dogs must be on a current NPH insulin regimen and be fed Hill's W/D Prescription Diet.

No change in lifestyle, cost, or schedule will be needed. 

Study participation will be free of charge, and Lispro insulin, blood work, and urine testing will also be free.
