10 y/o cat w/diabetes HATES her food!

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

My 10-year-old cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes. The vet prescribed a special diabetic food, but my cat doesn’t like it and refuses to eat it.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help get my cat to eat her food or at least to eat better?

I’m tearing my hair out!!!!

Cat recently diagnosed with beginning diabetes. Help!

Friday, May 8th, 2009

My cat was recently diagnosed with beginning diabetes with Blood Glucose level of 176 and a fructosamine level of 705.

I’ve begun changing her diet immediately to higher protein wet food.

What I’m curious to know is if it is possible to implement nutrition changes immediately that would help her body without needing insulin?  Or no matter what do i need to put her on insulin right away?

I’m open to second opinions.
thank you,
Deborah
