I am just wondering if anyone besides me has tried this?
My diabetic cat Cotton has been having this as a supplement to my home-made ground chicken (Dr Lisa's recipe) and Fancy Feast.
Cotton has been on roughly 1.5-2 units lantus 2x per day, sugar levels between 8-13 with an 11 average, and I find this food to be surprisingly unelevating to his glucose levels, in comparison to say whiskas (which he is absolutely not allowed, it shoots him up to 25).
We serve 6 cats, one with epi, one diabetic, 4 without special needs. We have 2 digital microchip feeders, one just for the epi kitty, one for the four non-diabetic cats with dry food - it is in that one that had the purina one grain free food as a nighttime supplement (also the main food for our one shy kitty who refuses wet).
It was in watching Cotton sneak the occasional mouthfull from the dry-food feeder before it closed that I discovered he not only loved it, but that it seemed to have a very low effect on his sugars.
In order to sleep at night, I have for Cotton a 5-space timed rotating Cat Mate feeder, because he needs small tegular feedings or he throws up clear liquid. So at night he gets a bit of wet food and a couple teaspoons of the true instinct at 1:30am, and another at 5:30am to carry him through to breakfast.
I get to sleep, he does't barf - win-win.
