I don't know the carb count, but I can tell you anything with gravy is going to be high carb, i.e. > 10% and not recommended for diabetic cats.

Thank you. I didn't think so either.
When she was first diagnosed, when got a list of all the low carb wet off the site. I gave the list to spousal unit. He's been buying that forever. I got the list I'd made off the computer and there was nothing like that on the list!
Appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Here is a link to the food charts:
Binky's charts are still reliable for carb content. - http://www.felinediabetes.com/diabetic-cat-diets.htm
You can use the newer food lists as well:
Pet Food Nutritional Values list - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8Uu8g1 ... kxOGM4NThk
Hobo's Guide To Nutritional Values - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... hYXc#gid=0
The things to remember
- you want carbs under 10% - ideally even less than 7%
- anything with gravy in it - should be saved for the hypo kit, labeled hypo so as not to be used as everyday food
- some inexpensive brands that are low carb, Fancy Feast classic flavors, Friskies pate style foods - don't recall the names off hand
If you find something that isn't listed, read the ingredients, anything with grains, flours, peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes are probably not the best food choices.
Of course no dry food/kibbles at all.
hope this helps
