And if so how has been managing their diabetes? I have a 8 year old diabetic cat. Honestly it stresses me out.

    My family’s cat just got diagnosed about a month ago :( He’s doing well so far with his insulin shots but it likely went unnoticed for a week or two because he’s a pretty reserved cat and normally hides from us. He’s been having trouble walking/jumping recently which is probably related, hopefully the insulin along with a changed diet (we’re mostly feeding him wet food now) will help him improve

        We’ve been doing something similar (assuming you meant 3 oz and not 30) with 2 meals a day 12 hours apart. Right now I think we’re using a bit more dry food, since our cats (we have 2 others as well) have only eaten dry food for their entire lives and we’re still trying to transition them to mostly wet food
