Nutrical is not used just for preventing hypoglycemia. It is a high-calorie supplement containing nutrients that your puppy/dog may not be getting in their regular diet. |

That said, constant spikes of glucose can lead to an incorrect amount of insulin being released... which over times leads to diabetes.
