Royal Canin Cat Diabetic 1.5 kg: Specialized Nutritional Solution for Diabetic Cats

Diabetes in cats is a serious health condition that requires careful management of blood sugar levels. Royal Canin Cat Diabetic 1.5 kg Dry Cat Food is a veterinarian-recommended diet specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of cats diagnosed with diabetes, support blood glucose regulation, and help them maintain a healthy weight.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Low Glycemic Index: Characterized by a low starch content and includes complex carbohydrates like barley. This helps to minimize postprandial hyperglycemia (blood sugar spikes after meals) and improve insulin sensitivity.
• High Protein Content: Helps preserve muscle mass and supports satiety. This feature is crucial given the risk of muscle loss in diabetic cats.
• Optimal Fiber Content: Fibers like psyllium help slow down glucose absorption from the digestive tract and support digestive health. This contributes to more stable blood sugar levels.
• Ideal Weight Management: Obesity is a common issue in diabetic cats and can worsen insulin resistance. This food has an appropriate caloric content to help maintain ideal body weight or support weight loss.
• Antioxidant Complex: Contains a synergistic complex of antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, taurine, lutein) that helps protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
• S/O Index (Urinary Tract Health): The specially balanced mineral content (S/O index) helps protect against urinary tract issues that can occur in diabetic cats, reducing the risk of struvite and calcium oxalate stone formation.

Usage Instructions:

Royal Canin Cat Diabetic food must be used strictly under the advice and supervision of your veterinarian. Your vet will determine the most appropriate feeding amount and duration based on the type and severity of your cat's diabetes, insulin dosage, and overall health condition. This diet food may often require lifelong use and is typically administered in conjunction with insulin therapy. A gradual transition to the new food and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels are essential. Always ensure your cat has access to fresh, clean water.
