I believe it can be the same as with humans. Sometimes advancing age. A pancreatic problem. She must see a vet to try to narrow down the cause as well as to get started on insulin. As with humans a dog can have a long and happy life as long as the diabetes is under control.

My first thought is diabetes!  I would recommend a vet visit for an exam and bloodwork.

Good Luck
