What should I feed a diabetic 10 year old dog who is grain, rice and chicken intolerant? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 10 years and 6 months old

I would recommend finding a limited ingredient diet that doesn't contain any of those ingredients, and feeding that. If you can find one that's fairly high in fiber and relatively low in carbohydrates, that would be ideal - but if not, you should still be able to get his glucose regulated as long as you're following your veterinarian's instructions. For diabetic dogs, the specific diet you choose to feed doesn't matter all that much, as long as you keep it consistent and control the amount of calories he's getting each day. I would definitely recommend talking to the veterinarian who is treating his diabetes about what he/she suggests, and make sure to inform your vet about any planned diet changes, since changing the diet can affect the amount of insulin he needs.
