Numbers trending downward

[ccurley20]

Hi! Curious what others think who have experience with Vetsulin. I have gradually been moving to no carb foods (Young Again / FF). Is the reduction due to the food changes or are we trending toward remission? Emmitt is 10 YO, healthy otherwise, doing pretty well with current regimen, diagnosed in March 2020 (BG at diagnosis was 680). Thanks for any thoughts.

Food is what drives diabetes. Changing to low carb and dumping the dry can significantly drop numbers

@JanetNJ I think has experience with it .

Hold on for more replies!

You don't look near remission, but I'm glad you are getting better number numbers.

Getting on low carb food makes a huge difference.

I found that with Max, cutting out dry reduced his numbers up to 100 points.

Yep thats why testing your cats blood glucose numbers AT HOME is so important. Can you imagine otherwise?

So you all don't even recommend Young Again Zero dry? Not sure I can cut it completely out, I have a multicat household and one older girl who has trouble with keeping weight on, I was surprised she likes the YA and can't really take her dry away.

here is a discussion on the subject

Dry Food - PLEASE consider more than just carbohydrate content

This may help you make up your mind. GOOD LUCK! I do hope you can find a healthy balance for your tribe!
