November is Pet Diabetes Month.

Diabetes is an inability of the body to regulate blood sugar caused by an abnormality of the pancreas. It causes increased thirst, urination, appetite, and weight loss. Most dogs have type 1 diabetes, caused by total or near destruction of the insulin-producing cells, and insulin injections are required for treatment. Diabetes is diagnosed by measuring increased levels of glucose in the urine and blood. Diabetes treatment includes insulin injections and dietary manipulation with regular blood sugar monitoring. Financial costs can be high during the regulation period, or if a complication arises, and twice-daily insulin injections are a lifelong commitment.

The Alaskan Malamute was first described living amongst the Mahlemut people on Alaska's northwest coast. The dogs served as hunting partners for seals and polar bears, among other big game, and as sled dogs for hauling heavy loads. The dogs were an integral part of these people's survival, and were valued both as workers and tribal members.
