Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Nutrition Diabetic 85g Cat Wet Food

ROYAL CANIN^® Feline Diabetic is a complete dietetic feed for cats formulated for regulation of glucose supply (Diabetes mellitus). This feed contains a low level of rapid glucose - releasing carbohydrates.

This exclusive formula is developed with reduced levels of starch, from sources with a low glycemic index. Food with a low glycemic index cause a slower rise in blood sugar than foods with a high glycemic index. This ultimately supports your cat by helping to manage postprandial blood glucose (the sugar in your cat’s blood after eating) in diabetic felines.

Thanks to ROYAL CANIN® Feline Diabetic’s high level of protein, this diet helps to maintain your cat’s muscle mass, which is essential for diabetic cats. Helping your cat to manage a healthy body weight supports a better response to diabetic treatment, as overweight cats tend to be less sensitive to insulin’s effects.
