Additional Information
Diabetes is a common disease in cats, usually caused by obesity or genetic predisposition. The disease involves a chronic increase in blood sugar levels, which results from a defect in insulin production or action. A change in diet is essential in the case of diabetes. Royal Canin Diabetic Veterinary Diet is designed for cats over 6 months of age who suffer from this disease. The energy value of this food is moderate and the starch content has been reduced, which facilitates weight reduction and subsequent maintenance of optimal weight. The addition of L-carnitine helps reduce fat deposits. In addition, the protein content in the food has been increased, which leads to positive net energy absorption and prolongs the glucose delivery process.
The advantages of the food are:
The special formula helps manage blood sugar levels after meals in cats with diabetes.
The high protein content helps to reduce net energy and ensures gradual and prolonged gluconeogenesis (glucose synthesis).
Special composition with reduced starch content.
