Blood sugar (diabetes mellitus) is a common disease in cats. Causes of this disease include obesity or genetic predisposition. In diabetes mellitus, there is a chronic increase in the level of sugar in the blood because the production of the hormone insulin is impaired, and therefore the level of sugar in the blood is not regulated. In this case, it is necessary to change the feed.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diabetic offers a permanent solution for cats older than 6 months with diabetes mellitus. The energy content of this feed has been reduced to reduce excess weight and maintain weight. The addition of psyllium and the addition of barley may counteract postprandial hyperglycemia. Increased protein content contributes positively to reducing energy intake to prolong glucose metabolism.
Only by agreement with the veterinarian.
