Is this for diabetic cats?

No! Diabetic cats should only be fed wet food. Fancy Feast Classic Pate, Chicken, Liver & Chicken or Turkey is recommended for low carb. It is available here on Amazon for reasonable prices. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes & put on insulin injections. After 30 days of shots & changing her food from dry food to Fancy Feast, she went into remission. I learned that all cats should be fed wet food only. My cat has lost weight and at almost 11 she's acting like a young cat again. Also quit shedding.

Catinfo.org has some good information on feeding diabetic cats. Diabetic cats should eat foods that are less than 10% carbs. That's hard to find. The owner of that site is a vet and recommends not feeding dry at all, but while transitioning she uses Evo which is around 5% carbs. Maybe 9%. I forget now. That said, my diabetic cat was a dry food junkie. He wouldn't eat at one point so I had to find a dry that wouldn't raise his blood sugar. I ended up using Young Again Pet Foods Zero Carb dry food. It's 0.4% carbs. He had no sugar spikes while eating it. He even went into remission (no insulin) while eating. It's expensive and special order but cost pennies next to the cost of insulin.

Fresh Pet is much better. It's cooked (not raw). You can find their site & retailers online. They have some food without carbs (strictly meat). You can sometimes find it @ Target and Petsmart (it's a refrigerated food).

I'm pretty sure it's not specifically made for diabetic cats but it's almost entirely meat so I would guess it's better than most for diabetic cats. My cats are NOT diabetic and this has been great for them.

It is not low carb if that's what your asking. The best diet for a diabetic cat is a raw meat diet with added calcium, taurine, etc. Little to no carbs.

I wouldn't see why not, I use this with dasuquin and my cat likes it together in wet food. You can always double check with your vet if your concerned about a possible side effect.

Human glucose monitors aren't calibrated for cats and dogs. Only use a Glucose monitor that's calibrated for cats and dogs to test your cat's glucose. I would recommend the Alpha Trak 2. My vet recommended it to me. It's the same one that my vet uses and so far it's worked great!

I think so. I have used cat products for my dog before. As long as they have enzymes in them, I think they break down all urine.

No...it is for dogs only, but there are other removers available that are safe for cats. Try searching "tartar removers for cats" in your browser or Amazon search.

I had a diabetic cat and I used a "human" blood glucose meter. I can't imagine why you couldn't use this one or any other, though getting one that uses the smallest blood drop possible will help. You take the blood from their ears. Just make sure you understand what is high sugar for a cat; the numbers are different than for humans as I recall. I'm sure the numbers are online somewhere or your vet could tell you.There are a bunch of YouTube videos on how to take a cat's blood sugar reading: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blood+glucose+meter+cat&oq;=blood+glucose+meter+cat&gs;_l=youtube.12..0l5j0i5l5.66.14454.0.20015.8.2.0.0.0.0.15480.15480.9-1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.WYxeeEWjtEoAlso see http://www.sugarcats.net/sites/harry/bgtest.htm I had a diabetic cat and I used a "human" blood glucose meter.

It works great for cats too. Use an eye dropper or syringe to administer it instead of trying to spray it in the mouth.

I am not positive that you can give this to your cat but I do not see why not. It can be taken by humans and dogs, so... Either way a call to a vet would be absolute safest way to go.

I would check with your vet as I am not sure if it can be given to a cat; I purchased for my dog and split in half based on the size chart/tablet dosage.

The label says "for dogs", but it does not say it can't be used on cats. I would think it was safe , but maybe they make them for cats as well. I would use them. But ask a vet if you aren't sure.

I use it for my dog when she has an infection. It boost the immune system. It is a powder so I suppose you could just add it so some wet cat food.

I would say yes. I have two cats that are very active. That is the main reason I use lol

I think it's best to ask the company directly. I do know that the product has worked for me and my cats.

I would say no for cats. For the second question, it took 3-4 weeks to see improvement for my dog.

From what I understand, cat's levels are not the same as humans. Their insulin is human, there is no cat insulin. While the cat glucometer is so much more expensive, I would not try to use one for people.

No. I believe it tells you not to use if you have diabetes. Check the package
