Supporting Diabetic Cats with Marro
If your cat has diabetes, they can still enjoy Marro - with your vet’s approval. While Marro cannot cure diabetes, our Fresh meals can support their health and make management easier:
Low Carbs: ~0.1% as-fed (~0.3% dry matter) helps keep blood sugar steady.
High Protein: Supports lean muscle and overall wellbeing.
Added Fibre: Brewers yeast and cranberries help reduce glucose spikes.
Weight Support: Tailored portions help maintain a healthy weight, reducing strain on the body.
We recommend to transition slowly over 1–2 weeks and keep your vet informed. Consistent feeding times are especially important for diabetic cats.
What Is Diabetes?
A condition where the body can’t use glucose properly, due to lack of insulin or insulin resistance.
Cats usually develop type 2 diabetes, often linked to age, weight, or genetics.
Signs to Watch For:
Excessive thirst
Frequent urination
Increased hunger
Weight loss
If you notice these, contact your vet for blood and urine tests.
Treatment & Prognosis
Most diabetic cats need daily insulin injections along with diet control.
Your vet will guide you on insulin administration and monitoring.
With the right management, many diabetic cats live long, happy lives.
