It is important to closely monitor the cat’s glycaemia during the first weeks of feeding PURINA PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS DM St/Ox Diabetes Management in order to adjust the insulin dosage. Feline DM St/Ox Diabetes Management can be fed for life. Feline DM St/Ox Diabetes Management can also be used for weight loss and its formulation may increase satiety*.
