    HI guys, this may be a dumb question. Before Maji's diagnosis we used to open up tuna and drain the "juice"
    water out of the can and give it to her and she would drink the whole thing. I realize there is salt in there...but
    I looked at the label and am confused about IF or if there is NOT carbs?

    Can someone enlighten me? IS tuna juice carb free? if it's the water kind? OR is there some carbs from the sodium pyrophosphate? OR is that bad for her that item?

    I don't want to backtrack on her progress if I can help it. I am assuming giving her a chunk of tuna is zero carbs but it's the juice I am worried about.

    thanks for your information in advance...here is the exact label for analysis

    I don't think carbs are an issue with this tuna. The thing to look out for is that lots of canned tuna manufacturers use onion and/or garlic to season it; you don't want to give this tuna or tuna "water" to your kitty. But the tuna you are showing here does not appear to contain any onion or garlic, so it should be okay.

    The carbs "down here" is what you are supposed to be at or below for the whole day, base on calorie needs. It's not what is in this food. So a person trying to eat a 2500 calories per day should be below 375g carbs. This food has 0.

    I know Baby likes this too & the few times I have used it, (for her appetite) her numbers did not raise. She is eating way too much now, always hungry & doesn’t need it to stimulate her appetite! Nice treat for Magic!

    One thing you can do to lesson the amount of sodium is to add extra water to the "tuna juice" to dilute it even more

    Thanks you so very much!!!!

    I am trying to remain calm and realistic - the vet keeps warning me that this could change and if it does that we will aggressively get on it... still testing all the time and am doing PRETEND shots with Maji - just to keep the ritual going in case we need to go back on insulin - I don’t do the needle just kinda pet and gently pinch her skin like I was gonna do a shot but we don’t - then I go GOOD GIRL - Maji looks around like WHAT? But runs to get a treat LOL

    Magic has her dental appt weds April 4th vet wants to give her an extra week for her body/stress. Her teeth need cleaning bad - her front teeth are all perfect including her little fangs but she only has back teeth on the upper the bottom ones were pulled a couple years ago as they were bad. Hopefully back uppers are still good under tartar

    @Magic Johnson - Bella is doing ok, on the other hand his mom is going nuts those stupid crazy numbers, he is going to a new vet sat I want to try lantus, the Novolin doesn’t stay in his system for very long hits him hard then it’s gone. I ordered him some D mannrose to help keep that terrible uti away and also ordered him coq10 will be here Monday. I hope I love new vet, I have a lot of questions for him lol thanks for asking. How are you guys doing

    Sorry just saw your message, well we are on day 3 and yesterday we were all yellows, I was so thrilled we had been in so many reds and blacks, I also put him on coq10 and uromax, so far so good, he does act a little more frisky and playful, thanks for asking and Magic’s number are awesome, good going:D

    Thank you Bellasmom! I have been following you in the lantus forum! I have been watching your spreadsheet and you’ve now entered the sunny yellows! Maji did that too and I felt it was a very good sign. It looks like your yellows are gradually getting lower... it might continue down into the blues... for me that is when it really got real...I then began to worry about too low

    Maji was in yellows then did one last higher set of numbers and then dropped into blues... kinda weird how it bounces like that

    I’m watching Bella she’s doing great in the new insulin!

    I know...I know... at first it’s like YES!!! Then it’s like oh no... I’m at 124 do I give a shot??? Do I not??? I don’t want to lose ground... type of thing!

    I just want you to know I’m watching Bella... I don’t really say much over in the lantus forum as I know so little about that type - but it’s very interesting!
