My diabetic cat won't eat her special food. Can she have Fancy Feast?

Question

My cat is ten yrs old and recently diagnosed with diabetes I give her 1 unit of insulin 2 times a day the food they gave me she will not eat!! So I'm thinking to put her on Fancy Feast she lost 6lbs and she needs something that appeals to her so I'm wondering if that is an ok food for her ??? Pet's info: Cat | American Bobtail Shorthair | Female | 7 years and 11 months old | 9 lbs

It is very important for diabetics to eat a consistent diet each day in order to match insulin prescription to energy intake and demand. You should discuss your concerns with your vet as a new diet may require adjustment of her insulin requirement but if they will not eat the diabetic food then an acceptable, tasty alternative (preferably high protein and low carbohydrate) should be found as soon as possible!
