Whenever I mention diets and diabetic pets I get a flood of emails from our readers. Duh! We’ve all been told we are what we eat.

It’s not rocket science that we need to get up and move our bodies around. When we exercise we maintain muscle mass, burn calories, boost our serotonin levels and just downright feel better.

Every month I get questions on how families can save money treating a diabetic pet.
