Although a dog can go a day or so without insulin and not have a crisis, this should not be a regular occurrence; treatment should be looked upon as part of the dog\u2019s daily routine.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-white-rice-good-for-diabetic-dogs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_white_rice_good_for_diabetic_dogs\"><\/span>Is white rice good for diabetic dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your dog is diabetic, you can still feed him a little white rice, if needed, but it shouldn\u2019t be given to him on a consistent basis. Due to the way in which brown and white rice is processed, brown rice can be harder for a dog to digest because it is not as processed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qT23H_T2Jfk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tJjFcokv4k\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"are-carrots-ok-for-diabetic-dogs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_carrots_OK_for_diabetic_dogs\"><\/span>Are carrots OK for diabetic dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an overweight or diabetic dog, you\u2019ll be happy to know that carrots are incredibly low in calories.
