Hi There,

The best diet for diabetic cats is one high in protein and low in carbs. You want to limit the carbs because they can seriously affect the blood sugar. In fact, some diabetic cats have been able to go off insulin on a canned-food-only diet, and many others have had their dosage of insulin reduced as a result of being on such a diet.

Your cat should gain weight as he is regulated on his insulin. Even though the carbs in dry food may put weight on him, they will make it much more difficult to regulate him. It can be a real challenge in a newly diagnosed diabetic cat anyway.

Please check out www.felinediabetes.com and www.sugarcats.com for more info.
