Diabetes mellitus is not a rare disease in cats. The causes of diabetes often lie in obesity or genetic predisposition. With Diabetes mellitus, blood sugar content is chronically elevated because there is an abnormality in insulin production. Thus blood glucose levels are no longer properly regulated. The recipe of Purina Veterinary Diets Feline DM - Diabetes Management contains a reduced amount of carbohydrates, which counteracts a rapid rise in blood glucose levels and helps stabilize it. The high content of antioxidants such as vitamin E also helps reduce free radicals, the presence of which is amplified in animals with diabetes. By feeding Purina Veterinary Diets Feline DM - Diabetes Management, clinical trials showed that the dose of insulin could be reduced. The special formula of this food also can counteract the formation of struvite and oxalate stones.
