Diabetes is a dangerous medical condition that affects both dogs and cats, and it is typically treated with insulin injections. Diabetes often develops later in life, commonly between the ages of 7 and 10 years, with some breeds being more susceptible to the condition. Conventional diabetic management for canines and felines comprises insulin therapy, medicine, moderate activity, food monitoring, and glucose monitoring. Owners of dogs and cats frequently refuse diabetic treatment because they either lack the confidence to administer insulin injections or are unable to pay for it because conventional insulin therapy and medication are pricy. Determining the effectiveness and safety of a prospective oral formulation for diabetic control is therefore advantageous.

Alternative supplemental medicines and nutraceuticals are gaining a lot of attention in the scientific community as well as from pet owners due to the high cost and negative side effects of synthetic medications. While large­ scale clinical trials in dogs and cats are wholly lacking, in vitro and in vivo research have been carried out for a large variety of nutraceuticals to assess their efficacy and safety. Certain dietary supplements have demonstrated a potent ability to have an anti-diabetic effect and warrant further study in clinical trials. Moreover, nutraceuticals should be examined for any potential harmful interactions before being administered along with conventional therapeutic medications.
