The Diabetic Dog Game

Take care of a diabetic dog and learn how to treat diabetes!
Although insulin doesn't cure diabetes, it's one of the most important discoveries in medicine. When it came in the beginning of the 1920s, it was like a miracle. People with severe diabetes and only days left to live were saved. And as long as they kept getting their insulin, they could live an almost normal life. The 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for the discovery of the hormone insulin. The discovery made it possible to treat people suffering from diabetes.
Can you take care of a diabetic dog properly? In this game your dog has type-1 diabetes, a very serious disease. With proper treatment, however, your dog can live a happy life for many years. When we eat, the blood sugar level in our blood rises, and the hormone insulin is released into the blood stream to regulate the sugar level. Someone suffering from diabetes does not produce or properly use insulin and therefore has to get it through injections.
It is important not to let your dog’s blood sugar get too high or low. The better you care for the dog, the more money you earn, and you can buy nice things for your dog!
