Pet Feline Health
Have you had success with controlling Feline Diabetes with Wellness canned food?
I've been feeding Wellness dry and my cats have done really good with it thier health has improved except for one cat who is on prednisolone which can contribute to elevated blood sugar. He is not likely to do better off of the medicine. The vet suggested switching to Purina DM or Friskies Beef flavor because they are lower in carbs. I have read the Wellness canned has 3% carbs versus 10% in the other foods suggested. I am not thrilled about feeding my cat foods from companies involved in the previous pet food recall. I don't believe they are going to take anymore care in making food than before. The cost is nearly the same but the difference is Wellness is organic human grade food. I have seen some things on the internet from various pet owners that they've put thier cats on this with success have any of you had any luck with this. The goal would be to change the blood sugar level with out starting the cat on insulin by feeding a high protein diet.
Hi Sophia...Wellness is an excellent dietary source for cats in general regardless of health. However, cats who have been diagnosed with feline diabetes require insulin to adjust for increased or decreased blood sugar. In cats with diabetes their pancreas no longer produces insulin so blood sugar will fluctuate too high or too low depending on their activity level, emotional level as well as how much and when they eat. The disease itself isn't so clear cut as it differs from one cat to another so it is quite complicated to simplify this all within my answer to you.
Here is a wonderfully well written website on feline diabetes that I hope you will find very helpful to learn how to manage the disease for your cat: http://felinediabetes.com/diabetes-info.htm
