When my cat started exhibiting diabetic symptoms, I took her completely
off high carb kibble, and switched her to 9 Lives canned, and within a

should not be fed grain based foods.

Choose only foods that are 10% or less calories from carbs.

Just like idiots on this NG keep stuffing themselves with starch and
shooting up insulin, people do the same thing to their cats.
