Hello, my male cat was diagnosed in September 2021 with diabetes. He’s 13 now. Originally, we started off with pro zinc insulin at a low dose (2 units) and immediately switched to purina diabetic management wet and dry food. Since then, he’s now on 6 units of insulin twice a day, and on purina overweight management wet and dry food. His last checkup was 4 months ago and his levels were extremely low. They started to recommended getting the libro device to monitor his levels. It seems he’s not very stable. I keep seeing everyone feeding their diabetic cats fancy feast. The wet food we buy is $80/24 and the dry food quite expensive. It’s been an expensive ride anyway, but I’m worried he’s not feeling his best still. Would replacing the dry food with fancy feast (the low carb ones I’ve been seeing) and continuing with the expensive vet wet food be worth it? I want what’s best for him not what’s cheapest as I want his quality of life to be good. I’m worried he’s not quite there though and it’s been almost 2 years. Any help?
