Most people don’t plan to have poor eating habits and gain a lot of weight, but slowly as the years go by bad habits become ingrained and are the new standards by which a person lives and just become normal to them and nothing out of the ordinary. It’s not until they see a doctor or have blood work done and get those poor test results back that they understand that their “normal” way of living is not really a good normal at all. Their new normal has changed normal blood sugar levels to elevated levels and getting them back to normal involves finding a new “normal” way of eating and living. 
The size of your animal and how much it weighs will play a big part in how much insulin is necessary to regulate blood glucose level. If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes your veterinarian will prescribe the amount of insulin necessary to inject each time. A small pet will usually require a smaller amount of insulin each time to help regulate blood sugar levels. Your veterinarian will have an injection plan to stabilize your pet and will modify that plan as needed.
