Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Glycobalance S/O Index Dry Cat Food, 4.4-lb bag

My 14 year old kitty Sasha was diagnosed with diabetes in Dec 2019. Cats can be tricky to get their insulin corrected, which was my cats case. After 2 months of weekly blood testing to try and get her sugar level right, I found Glycobalance dry for my cat. She only has ever eaten dry Iams and would not eat wet food. It was scarey bc over that period of time she kept loosing weight, went from her normal 8’8 to 6’6 As we know they have to have food in their system before given the insulin (I use Vetsulin) so I was terrified I’d loose her. After the 2 week slow transitioning, adding a little Glco in with her normal food, her blood sugar started to regulate and we were able to find the proper My 14 year old kitty Sasha was diagnosed with diabetes in Dec 2019.

I truly am convinced it helped save my Sashas life. … more

My Sophie whos 9yrs old nearly died after a steroid shot she got in June they checked her sugar and it was through the roof it was 400! After 2 full weekends back to back and After getting on insulin and had to slowly increase it..(currently 4 units twice a day)and several glucose curve checks every few weeks. She back to her sassy self. I switched her about almost a month ago to Royal canin glycobalance...I Hope on her nextvisit it will be even better. She just started her second bag yesterday..and ordered 2 more bag yesterday just in case Chewy runs out again She loves the food and she’s a picky eater too Thank you for helping my cat Sophie I’ll update again soon :)

13 year old fat cat starting getting miserable looking fur and low on energy. Checked out to be diabetes with sugar at 300+ Vet put him on low dose of insulin and DM and glycobalance “crunchies” Lost a little weight and seems invigorated. 3 Siamese buddies all love glycobalance crunchies and have great teeth... large pieces require chewing (a good thing), helps keep teeth clean and won’t make them fatter...although dieting cats is next to impossible... smarties walk around yowling for food (crunchies)...almost impossible to diet the buggers, so don’t let your guys get fat! Playing with them 15 minutes a a day seems to take the edge off! FYI: normal feline blood sugar should be around 100.

Certainly helps keep the numbers down. Not only does the diabetic cat love this stuff but I have several other cats that I have to share it with. They think it is treats.

My cat's glucose was 500. Due to a medication that was high sugar. This dry food is fantastic. I feed her this and also Fancy feast classics. Which she loves. High protein high moisture content and some fat. She's gained back the 6 pounds lost and her sugar levels steady at 275 -300. FYI cat's can actually become non diabetic if treated properly. Live and learn. She's never needed insulin. Best of luck to all kitty's going through this. I'm feeding my 4 year olds some of this as well. Along with the Fancy feast classics which they all love.

My cats love it. Two of my Three cats are diabetic and I switched them over to Royal Canin. They love Glycobalance wet and dry food. My Sweetie Lee actually twirls. Highly recommend it.

I'm surprised with all the feedback over the years that the company hasn't changed 2 things about this product. 1 is the size of the bag. Too small especially if you are feeding more than 1 cat. And 2, the size of the kibble. Diabetic cats are usually older and as in my cats case have little or no teeth. My cat has had no problem with his Blue Buffalo kibble pieces, but switching to the Royal Canin has been tough because of the kibble size. Way too big in my case. So even though it might work. I will crunch up this bag to get the kibble to a smaller size without pulverizing it...I will then look for another low carb dry with a small kibble size so that my cat can eat it.

I recently bought this for my elderly diabetic cat. He gets wet food with his insulin shot twice a day but he likes to snack in between meals. I googled dry food for diabetic cats and this was one that came highly recommended. It is higher in protein and lower in sugar and he says it tastes great. The only problem now is keeping my other 5 cats out of it!

My cat Mouse was diagnosed with diabetes...(plus tumors) I tried this and at first he liked it alot but after a few weeks he wont touch it. I will keep searching for a diabetic food he will eat.

My diabetic likes it and so do my other two! And they are quite fussy! My only complaint is the kibble it bigger than most other cat kibble. My other cats didn’t like the Royal Canin adult and hair ball formula, but the like this one!
