PURINA® PROPLAN® VETERINARY DIETS DM St/Ox Diabetes Management is a highly palatable, complete veterinary diet for cats with diabetes. It has been specially formulated to help regulate blood glucose (sugar) levels in diabetic cats. DM contains very low levels of carbohydrate to reduce the upsurge in blood glucose that happens after meals, and high levels of protein to help stimulate insulin release from the pancreas. It has been shown to reduce insulin requirements in some diabetic cats, and is also rich in the antioxidant vitamin E to help neutralise the free radicals that are produced with diabetes.
Key Benefits
Clinically proven to help reduce insulin requirements in diabetic cats
Low in carbohydrates to help reduce blood glucose variation
Increased vitamin E to reduce oxidative stress
With St/Ox to help support urinary health in cats which may be susceptible to urinary conditions
