I'm so sorry that Quito has been diagnosed with diabetes. My best recommendation for cats is the following website. http://binkyspage.tripod.com There are lists of canned and dry food that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates. You can certainly add small amount of protein to the diet, but if Quito's diet is variable from day to day, it can make his diabetes more difficult to regulate, so I recommend sticking with a commercial food if possible. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
