My cat is taking probiotics for her IBD and B vitamins for her CKD/anemia. I don’t know if there are any supplements for diabetes.

What you need to try and get a cat into remission is a good insulin such as Lantus or Prozinc, a low carb wet diet and home testing the blood glucose.
I would be very sceptical of any Supplements that claim to help diabetes.

I guess I misspoke. My cat is on lantus. He was over 500 glucose level. He now ranges between 130 and 170. He will not eat wet food. He is a kibble boy. I’m just thankful that he switched to purina pro care DM dry food. I ordered the wet too, won’t eat. He doesn’t want treats. He just wants his kibble. So I was wondering if supplements for the pancreas would help in this process. To add to this, my vet was “surprised” that I have been testing and tracking his glucose. I don’t feel that they are supportive towards healing just treating. I hope this makes sense

So there is lower carb dry food? This is where I feel I’m being failed by my vet. I told them he won’t eat anything but dry and that is what she prescribed

Another low carb, dry food alternative is Young Again Zero Carb. (It's not really zero carb but it's low -- about 5%). I believe they will also send a sample if you contact customer service.
Be careful when you switch to a lower carb food, to do it slowly. It could greatly reduce the amount of insulin he needs.
