Is Blue Wilderness Canned foods OK for Diabetic Kitties?

[gizzysmom]

I purchased a few cans by recommendation of PetSmart employee and was wondering if ok to feed Gizzy. He is finicky and not wanting to eat as much. It has potato starch listed and didn't know if that's a no no for diabetic kitty.

It is not listed here:

That also says:
BLUE BUFFALO
A customer service representative provided carbohydrate values
over the phone. Note that, despite being “grain free”, all of the
canned foods are high in carbohydrates, including the ‘Wilderness
Wild Delights’. The only diets that appear to be low in
carbohydrates are the ‘Wilderness’ pate varieties - Kitten, Chicken,
Turkey, Salmon, and Duck. However, I will not use or recommend
products from any company that refuses to provide ‘typical
nutrient analysis’ data for their diets.

What is the ingredients?

I would expect it to be OK. I expect that the dried eggs, potato starch are to make the food an acceptable consistency.
