**Visit 0 was the visit in which basal‐bolus insulin treatment protocol was initiated. Visit 1 was the first recorded visit following 2 weeks of combined NPH and lispro insulin treatment. All dogs received insulin treatment every 12 h, prior and following inclusion. One dog was treated with glargine insulin (0.75 unit/kg every 12 h) prior to inclusion.
