Is this good for diabetic cats?
Yes. Low glycemic ingredients may reduce or eliminate the need for insulin in diabetic cats. Diabetic cats with the highest remission rates (greater than 80%) have been reported to have feeding diets with approximately 6% of energy from carbohydrates. Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein™ delivers only 5% energy from carbohydrates as compared to leading Dietetic Management foods with levels as high as 13%.

Very interesting! Less than half the price of Young Again and in a bigger bag. Should be a good alternative for those transitioning to wet food or cats that just won't eat wet food.

Just called them and they offered to send samples. Awesome. @Larry and Kitties did you read all the ingredients? Sound good and safe? Phoebe has IBD and pancreatitis. I want to see about the chicken, for treats. Ty for the link
 
Thank you for the research and the link, Larry!

ETA: I just looked at the site and ran the calculations for carbs (canned food) - the beef was a little high at around 15% but the others are all under 3%.
