Remission should not be confused with potential diabetes mellitus seen in female dogs during metestrus (diestrus), in which the pancreatic islets are still able to function but signs of diabetes appear as a result of insulin resistance caused by progesterone-induced production of growth hormone by the mammary gland. These dogs are not truly diabetic but can become so if not treated appropriately (ovariohysterectomy/ovariectomy).
