Diabetes

Does anyone have a chinchilla with Diabetes?

(I dont have one I was just wondering is it possible? If so how do you treat or help care for him/ her properly.)

Chins with diabetes definitely do exist. I don't have one myself, but I have seen threads concerning this. Diabetes is a life long illness, so you treat it as long as the chin lives.

I have also heard of it and I'm sure it would be treated with insulin shots and such the same as other animals

How do you know, what are the signs.
What are the signs in a person?
What are the signs in a chinchilla?

I hope we can get some one with a chinchilla that has Diabetes to Share with us.

There are a couple of diabetic chin owners who have posted on forums in the UK.
