Can this be used for dogs with diabetes, and if so what would the recommended dose be for a dog of 100lbs?

Yes it can, but I believe there are herbs better suited for diabetic dogs. Generally, when calculating pet dosages of herbal supplements, it is best to interpret the human dosage as that which is appropriate for a 150 pound person, and then determine, mathematically, the suitable dosage for your pet. In this case, we're calculating the dosage for a 100 pound dog, so for liquid glycerites, the dosage would translate to about 13 to 20 drops in their water 3 to 4 times daily.
For the optimal diabetes diet for your dog, I would consult a qualified veterinarian to determine the best diet and supplements for your dog. There is much debate in this area as some people advovate high soluble fiber diets and others advocate high protein. Your vet may suggest insulin shots or a specific exercise regime. But, just as in humans, the addition of smartly chosen dietary supplements to a high quality diet and exercise program is the way to go.
Bilberry
The fruits of the small perennial shrub, the bilberry, are very similar to
the blueberry bush of North America. Commonly referred to as the
"European blueberry", the bilberry has been used since
prehistoric times for a wide variety of health complaints. Studies on
animals and in vitro provide evidence for anti-bacterial,
anti-ulcer, and anti-spasmodic properties, among several therapeutic
actions tested and confirmed. Human trials, although more limited, suggest
that bilberry may improve night vision, cataracts, and other eye-related
disorders in test subjects. Further controlled testing is required, but
results so far are very promising.
Directions
Take 20-30 drops of extract in a small amount of warm water 3-4 times daily as needed.
Cautions
Not to be used during pregnancy and lactation. Do not exceed recommended dose.
