For the folks here whose dogs have been diagnosed with both Cushing's and Diabetes, here are some links which may be helpful.

Therapy of Concurrent Diabetes Mellitus and Cushing's Syndrome
Canine and Feline Endocrinology and Reproduction, 2nd Edition
Edward C. Feldman and Richard W. Nelson, 1996
http://www.io.com/~lolawson/cushings/articles/diabetes.html

Another website which explains the diagnostic process for dogs suspected of having Cushing's, Diabetes or both.
Clinical signs and symptoms are discussed and lab tests used to diagnose both diseases are explained there, too.

Link to the original Pets with Diabetes website. Although it is now inactive (i.e. it has not been updated for several years) there is alot of excellent information there:

A terrific resource for people with diabetic dogs! The k9diabetes website and message board was launched in 2008.

It's a great place to learn what you need to know regarding the treatment and care of canine diabetes and where you can meet and talk with folks who are also owners of diabetic dogs. (Bonus: Quite a few of the members there are also members here, and vice versa :))

Just diagnosed? Take a deep breath. Diabetes in dogs is almost always manageable and with good care and monitoring, your dog can live a normal, healthy lifespan.
