Wet dietetic food in pouches for adult cats with diabetes mellitus: controls postprandial glycemic response, low in starch, and high in protein.
The nutritional management of feline diabetes mellitus focuses on reducing the intake of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates to prevent fluctuations and sudden spikes in blood glucose levels after meals.
Royal Canin Diabetic Wet Food offers a clinically tested solution with an extremely low content of starch and complex sugars. The high protein concentration helps preserve lean muscle mass, which is essential for weight maintenance and insulin sensitivity in diabetic cats.
This wet food in pouches makes a valuable contribution to the cat’s daily hydration, supporting kidney and urinary function, which are often strained in diabetic cats.
The soft texture of the bite-sized pieces in sauce makes the meal highly palatable even for the most finicky cats.
