Excessive shedding is not necessarily a sign of canine diabetes, though you should be concerned if you noticed a poor skin and hair coat. More likely signs will be an increase in water as well as food intake combined with weight loss and frequent urination.With any of these symptoms, your dog should see his Vet.

Shedding is not a symptom of canine diabetes. Excessive shedding is frequently due to poor diet or dry and itchy skin. If you aren't already, try switching to a premium brand pet food. If there's no improvement, you may want to consult a veterinarian.

It is possible, but unlikely. Dogs, just as cats, shed fur in a hot sustained environment, to help keep them selves cool. Just make sure too brush the dog regularly.
