Diabetic Home Made Diet for my Latest Foster

[Loving my Oldies]

I have googled and googled but cannot fine a home made diet for a diabetic dog.  Mostly sites for selling the cans and kibble come up and when a homemade diet pops up, for as many people who agree with it as many disagree.  Every body argues about the various ingredients including rice and carrots !!
 

When my latest foster arrived, she came with about 10 days’ worth of Satiety (despite being a little underweight), but these cans are hugely expensive and she has one a day, so that isn’t really sustainable.  
 

All I was told at the vet the other day when I went for injection lessons was no red meat but Adult Kibble would be fine.  
 

I would like to make my own so the little girl can have the correct, nutritious and enjoyable diet, but need some help.

I came upon this a few weeks ago when I was looking for something else, I don't know if it'll help but you never know

That was an interesting and informative read, thank you @Boronia.  I have to go basic shopping today, so I’ll be picking up some foods to try for Lilo.

Based on what Tuft’s is saying I would stick with a commercial diet but supplement with fresh food, in particular high fibre food, that is kept consistent. You can switch up how it is given with enrichment activities.
