Description
Summary:Maintaining blood glucose concentrations and managing glycemic response is pivotal in diabetic patients. The objective of this study was to determine the safety of a Test Food (A) high in protein (52.6% protein, DMB), low in carbohydrate (14.2% NFE, DMB), and moderate in fiber (6.18% crude fiber, DMB)compared to a Control Food (B) with similar nutrient profile except a lower fiber level (1.08% crude fiber, DMB) in maintaining weight and glycemic control in cats with stable diabetes mellitus.
