Great that your cat likes the canned food :smile: Hopefully those numbers will drop a little more. Insulin will likely still be needed but maybe your cat will be on the of lucky ones who only need insulin for a short time :smile:
Which Blue Buffalo treats did you buy? The Kitty Yums ones have rice, potato, oatmeal,
and maple syrup in them :shock: Definitely a no-no for a diabetic cat. The Wilderness ones have ground potato which may affect blood glucose levels.
Have you seen the list of popular low carb treats?

ohmygod_smile I looked at the GA and the calorie content on the Kitty Yums... Dang it! Well they are just going to have to do for tonight. It's storming and I'm not going out for different treats.
As far as the canned foods, I bought the Wilderness only... Turkey, Duck, Chicken and... Salmon. Had to think about that for a minute! They probably do have potato in them, but from the zillions of lists that I perused for days on end, they seemed the lesser of the other evils. They had the least carbs. Purina Pro Plan was on one of the losts that I looked at... I know. I did make sure to only buy the... ok, had to go to the kitchen.
