I'd get him back on the Fancy Feast classics then! The "prescription" foods are mostly higher carb and don't have any special magic...and if you look at ingredients, they're really no better than foods you can buy at the supermarket

Most of those foods have a money back guarantee on them too....you can return them to the vet and just say he won't eat them and get your money back

You shouldn't be having to force feed your cat if he'll voluntarily eat on his own

If she hasn't had anything to eat for at least 2 hours, I might just test her, feed her and test again in about 3 hours....if the number comes down, that can show that her pancreas is working

"Better too high for a day than too low for a moment" is one of our sayings around here....if she starts to trend up, then we might want to re-start her insulin but at a much lower level and then slowly work our way up
