The diabetes will require twice daily insulin injections. A proper diet can help decrease the insulin dose needed to control it but it is not enough to stop it all together. There are a lot of good anti inflammatory prescription products that are safe for diabetics that your vet can prescribe. A good natural option is adding glucosamine and chondrotin supplements such as cosequin or see if your vet has a therapy laser that can help
