Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Diabetic is a prescription dry cat food formulated to support nutritional management in adult cats with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus is a disease characterized by insufficient insulin secretion by the pancreas, resulting in abnormal production of glucose. It is the possible result of a number of factors, including excess weight and obesity.
This complete and balanced therapeutic diet is specifically tailored with the needs of diabetic adult cats in mind, formulated with a low level of digestible carbohydrates and a high level of protein. The diet features reduced levels of starch from sources with a low glycaemic index to help manage postprandial blood glucose levels effectively.
Suitable For
This dry cat food for diabetic cats is suitable in cases of:
- Diabetes Mellitus and a Body Condition Score of 6 out of 9 or below
- Diabetes Mellitus and a Body Condition Score of 7 out of 9 or higher, until glycaemic control has been achieved
Product Benefits
- GLUCOMODULATION: Specific formula to help in the management of post-prandial blood glucose in diabetic cats. This formula is developed with reduced levels of starch, from sources with a low glycaemic index. Food with a low glycaemic index cause a slower rise in blood sugar than foods with a high glycaemic index. This ultimately supports your cat by helping to manage postprandial blood glucose (the sugar in your cat's blood after eating) in diabetic cats.
- HIGH PROTEIN: High protein content. Maintenance of muscle mass is essential in diabetic cats. Thanks to ROYAL CANIN 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.
- LOW STARCH: Formula that contains a reduced level of starch (19.0%).
