Review: It works!! - My cat was diagnosed with diabetes in July 2014. His blood glucose was 404 at the time. He was 25 pounds (inside-only cat). My cat was fed Meow Mix for the majority of his life. The vet put him on this food, and I had to give my cat insulin shots every six hours. I would take my cat to the vet once per week to have his sugar tested. In September 2014, my cat's diabetes went into remission and I discontinued the insulin. My vet told me to keep my cat on this food. My cat remained on this food until his death at the age of ten (May 2016). My cat's blood glucose was checked annually (in 2015 and 2016); everything was normal. I attribute that largely to this food. My cat seemed to love it! I just wish that it was cheaper. :/ It should be noted that my cat stopped eating near the end of his life, which caused his diabetes to become deregulated. He died of congestive heart failure. His lungs were also full of fluid. His white blood cell count was very low. The vets also suspected pancreatitis, as well as some form of cancer. But, I think this is one of the best things you can do if you have a cat with diabetes. I strongly believe this food extended my cat's life. On a side note: my cat seemed to have more difficulty pooping while on this product. He would also poop outside of his litterbox on occasion. Has anyone else experienced this? My cat was very overweight, unfortunately. I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.
Review: Really made a difference. - This is the best food for my diabetic baby. Even with taken the insulin shoot 2 times a day. His sugar was still running high. I put him on this food and he is a totally different cat. He is more active and back to his old self. I would recommend this food to any one with a diabetic cat.
