HI guys, this may be a dumb question. Before Maji's diagnosis we used to open up tuna and drain the "juice"
water out of the can and give it to her and she would drink the whole thing. I realize there is salt in there...but
I looked at the label and am confused about IF or if there is NOT carbs?

Can someone enlighten me? IS tuna juice carb free? if it's the water kind? OR is there some carbs from the sodium pyrophosphate? OR is that bad for her that item?

I don't want to backtrack on her progress if I can help it. I am assuming giving her a chunk of tuna is zero carbs but it's the juice I am worried about.

thanks for your information in advance...here is the exact label for analysis

I don't think carbs are an issue with this tuna. The thing to look out for is that lots of canned tuna manufacturers use onion and/or garlic to season it; you don't want to give this tuna or tuna "water" to your kitty. But the tuna you are showing here does not appear to contain any onion or garlic, so it should be okay.

Thanks you so very much!!!!

I am trying to remain calm and realistic - the vet keeps warning me that this could change and if it does that we will aggressively get on it... still testing all the time and am doing PRETEND shots with Maji - just to keep the ritual going in case we need to go back on insulin - I don’t do the needle just kinda pet and gently pinch her skin like I was gonna do a shot but we don’t - then I go GOOD GIRL - Maji looks around like WHAT? But runs to get a treat LOL

Magic has her dental appt weds April 4th vet wants to give her an extra week for her body/stress. Her teeth need cleaning bad - her front teeth are all perfect including her little fangs but she only has back teeth on the upper the bottom ones were pulled a couple years ago as they were bad. Hopefully back uppers are still good under tartar

@Magic Johnson - Bella is doing ok, on the other hand his mom is going nuts those stupid crazy numbers, he is going to a new vet sat I want to try lantus, the Novolin doesn’t stay in his system for very long hits him hard then it’s gone.

Doing well - Maji is mighty hungry this morning trying to get me outta bed LOL

Let us know how you do with Bella’s new vet. I forgot did you already try Prozinc?
 
Sorry just saw your message, well we are on day 3 and yesterday we were all yellows, I was so thrilled we had been in so many reds and blacks, I also put him on coq10 and uromax, so far so good, he does act a little more frisky and playful, thanks for asking and Magic’s number are awesome, good going:D

Thank you Bellasmom! I have been following you in the lantus forum! I have been watching your spreadsheet and you’ve now entered the sunny yellows! Maji did that too and I felt it was a very good sign. It looks like your yellows are gradually getting lower... it might continue down into the blues... for me that is when it really got real...I then began to worry about too low

Maji was in yellows then did one last higher set of numbers and then dropped into blues... kinda weird how it bounces like that

I’m watching Bella she’s doing great in the new insulin!
