Royal Canin Cat Diabetic Dry
For cats from 6 months of age after diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
The feeding of the diet should be continued for life. Although diabetes mellitus in cats may be reversible, lifelong follow-up treatment reduces the risk of recurrence.
Attention: The use of this food increases the cat’s insulin sensitivity. It is therefore strongly recommended to measure the glucose or fructosamine levels in the blood before starting this diet and to adjust the cat, if necessary, to a lower insulin dose.
Important notes:
- Veterinary dietary food must only be given in consultation with the vet.
- During treatment with a veterinary diet food you should regularly (approx. every 6 months) arrange check-ups with the vet.
- If your pet’s state of health worsens, seek veterinary advice immediately.
Moderate energy content
A reduced energy content promotes optimal body condition and can minimise insulin resistance associated with overweight.
Glucomodulation
The effect of psyllium and the inclusion of cereals (barley) can effectively prevent postprandial hyperglycaemia. Simple sugars are not included.
High protein content
The increased protein content helps to reduce net energy intake and can ensure a delayed glucose supply.
Joint protection
Chondroitin sulphate (inhibits enzymatic damage to chondrocytes) and glucosamine (stimulates new formation of glycosaminoglycans) counteract degenerative joint diseases.
Feeding guidelines
Recommended daily ration (g/day):

Further information
Diets with adjusted starch content / high protein content support clinical control and a reduced need for insulin, and increase the reversibility rate of diabetes in cats by reducing the insulin requirement and supporting clinical control. High protein content supports the acceptance of the food, important in cats with diabetes mellitus so as not to compromise insulin administration. Regular blood tests and clinical examination by the vet are recommended.
