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

Further information
Diet foods with adjusted starch content / high protein content support clinical control and a reduced insulin requirement and increase the reversibility rate of diabetes in cats due to a reduced insulin requirement and support clinical control. A high protein content supports the acceptance of the food, important in cats with diabetes mellitus, so as not to interfere with the administration of insulin. Regular blood testing and clinical examination by the vet is recommended.
