Description
About Feline Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes results when the cats pancreas fails to produce enough insulin. Sugars build up in the bloodstream rather than enter the body’s tissues where they would otherwise provide energy. (This is why diabetic cats are often lethargic.)
Excess sugar in a cats bloodstream can lead to several of other conditions, including heart, liver and kidney disease, increased infections, slow healing, cataracts, blindness, etc.
Risk factors for cat diabetes include:
- Obesity
- Poor diet (high carbohydrate kibble)
- Cortisone treatments
- Stress and shock
Diabetes is more common in:
- Male cats generally
- Overweight cats
- Middle-aged and older cats
Common symptoms of Feline Diabetes Mellitus include:
- Increased thirst, frequent urination
- Weakness, lethargy
- Signs of pain in the abdomen
- Cataracts (eyes cloudy rather than clear)
- Weight loss
- Muscle wasting
Diagnosing and treating Cat Diabetes
If you think your cat might have diabetes, you should take him to a vet. A veterinarian can diagnose cat diabetes mellitus by examining sugar levels in the cats blood and urine.
A recommended lifestyle change usually includes a healthy species appropriate diet, high in protein and no complex carbohydrates. If your cat is overweight, you should help him lose weight through diet and increased exercise. Caution: Weight loss should be gradual. If cats lose weight too quickly or stop eating, they can become prone to a serious illness called Hepatic Lipidosis where an excess of fat builds up in the cells of the liver (also called Fatty Liver Syndrom). Be very careful of transitioning your cat to a new food slowly to ensure they are eating adequate amounts daily. Cats cannot be fasted! Conventional treatment may also include regular injections of insulin. Your cats feeding regime will be determined when a glucose curve is done by a veterinarian. This will indicate the best time to give insulin and when to feed your cat.
Can herbal products support cat diabetes?
Feline Mellit is completely natural, without harsh chemicals. It is gentle enough for long-term use. Please keep in mind that using an herbal formulation for diabetes could help to regulate insulin levels. It is very important to monitor blood sugar levels on a more regular, even on a daily basis to determine if there is a need for you to adjust the amount of insulin you are giving. Please inform your veterinarian when you start your cat on Feline Mellit and ask how you can monitor blood and urine glucose levels at home. Also monitor closely following any adjustment in diet. Especially if moving from a higher carbohydrate kibble diet to a higher protien, lower carbohydrate diet. Lower carb diets may reduce the percentage of body fat and lower insulin requirements.
Does this formula contain any diuretics?
Although an herb may have a slight diuretic effect it is not used as a diuretic in this formula. The combination of the other herbs in the formula help balance out the diuretic effect. For any of these herbs to work as a diuretic they would have to be taken as single herb at a different dosage or would have to be combined with other herbs that also work as diuretics.
Our customers have the last word…
I'm so happy to see that you stress prevention and overall health, rather than just popping pills. According to my vet, my cat was at high risk for diabetes, but through a changed diet and use of your fabulous herbal product, Mellit, he’s completely turned around. We'll definitely be ordering more.” Robert, Guelph Ont.

My cat Vinny has had diabetes for years. I give him regular insulin shots, but he still seemed sick and tired all the time. After a few weeks on Feline Mellit, he picked up noticeably. With the vet’s approval, I cut down on his insulin, and now he’s better than ever. Thank you so much for making such a great product.” Lori, NYC

I give this product to my older diabetic cat. His age is estimated to be between 15 - 18 yrs and I made the decision to not go with insulin treatments. I add 4 drops to his food twice a day and I have also changed his diet to high protien, low carb. He seems a bit better but he really wasn't acting sick. He had lost weight and was drink tons of water which is water alerted me to the fact that he might be diabetic. It may be too soon to tell but he has definately not been drinking as much water of flooding out the littler box. He seems alert and is looking like he may have put on a pound or so. I would continue to use this product as I can't seen any adverse effects and the cat seems happy.

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I thought my 15 year old cat would be gone in 2 months. She had lost 1/3 of her weight and her spine was very sharp. Drinking incredible amount of water and no appetite. I am on a fixed income and there is no money for expensive veterinary care for an elderly cat. I started giving her Mellit just before Christmas so it's been about a month. Her appetite improved within 3 days. I was so relieved to see her eating again. She has continued to improve and had gained at least a pound, maybe more. When healthy she weiged 6 lb. Some people think that herb treatments for humans could be partially 'placebo' effect. Cats don't know from placebo. She just got better. I am so grateful. Thank you!

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I was hesitant at first to write a review, mostly because I had a hard time getting Mellit into my cat. He's an 11 year-old Maine Coon who has been diagnosed with Diabetes about a year ago. He currently gets 5 units of Lantus twice a day. After I purchased Mellit, my hopes were high, but I could not get him to take Mellit so didn't give it to him regularly. Starting 8 days ago, I began mixing it in his food instead of giving it to him in water or directly in his mouth, and today's blood test showed he dropped from 186 to 154 since last weekend! Hallelujah!!!! I will definitely recommend this product to any pet owner whose furchild has to battle Diabetes. I'm so glad I found Mellit!

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
When the doctor told me I would have to administer 2 shots a day to my cat, I just said, there is no way I can't do that both emotionally,or financially. So I searched the net for feline diabetes and found well-being and millet. I read the reviews and decided to try it. It was this or put the cat down if he declined any more. Well...........I tried it and now-he has his bounce back! I don't know how long I am adding to his life, but for now, we are both much happier!!! It took care of the nasty excess urinating symptoms, because it took care of his excessive thirst. We have been using it now for 10 months. Just 5 drops twice a day on his food.

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I began using this on our 12 year old Maine Coon cat who was losing weight and lethargic, and had all the symptoms of diabetes,(the dry skin, wt. loss, not playful, frequent drinking and urination, unhappy, cataract in one eye). I am an alternative medicine person and always believe there is another way than mainstream medicine...not to mention the cost of the Vet and the insulin etc.!
And am I happy I found your herbal remedy!
On the 15th of Nov. I began to give Obie 5 drops twice a day in a small amount of wet catfood to make sure he eats it all...and he gobbles it up! I am so pleased because he is very fussy and was worried he would turn his nose up at it...
I couldn't have asked for a better way to give his medicine to him...no upsetting him with pills, etc. It couldn't be easier.
And the results were and are wonderful! And almost immediate. Within the first week I noticed him having more energy. And the second week, miracle of miracles, he began to play with me again. He is definately happier, has more energy, is more affectionate and playful and eats well. I am thinking he is beginning to gain some weight. At least he isn't wasting away like he was before. His coat looks better. Everything is better except his urinating still seems to be alot. Hopefully with more time, that too will resolve? He has been on the medication now exactly 5 weeks. Thank you with all my heart! What a wonderful product!

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
My cat is 15 yrs old & had diabetic neuropathy fairly bad. She could hardly walk as her back legs would drag & she would get really tired from a very short distance. She couldn't jump up on things & she could hardly go up & down the stairs. Her quality of life was not very good at all. I googled Diabetic Neuropathy in felines & Pet Wellbeing popped up & i read all the testimonials & because I am A Doctor Of Traditional Chinese Medicine, i believe in all these herbal remedies & immediately ordered my cat this product.
She is doing amazing now. She can walk perfectly normal & jump on everything & her coat looks so much healthier. Even my vet cannot believe how much she has improved. I would definitely recommend this product. for your cat & have recommended other animal lovers to check out the products available at Pet Wellbeing.

My cat was always tired and lost his spunk.He started drinking alot and Using the litter box all day and leaving a BIG puddle all the time. I then realized he had all the symptons of cat diabetes. I changed his diet to include fresh carrots and sweet potatoes and his food has no more grains. I ordered 2 bottles of Millet for cats and what a difference! He still continues to have issues, but he atleast has more life into him. Thank you for having a natural remedy.

My cat was diagnosed with Diabetes last February, I started using the Mellit in June and in Bandit's checkup in September he is no longer Diabetic. He was checked 4 times in two weeks to make sure and he has been great every since. I know that his change in Diet also had a lot to do with it but I would recommend Mellit to anyone who asked.

I started using Mellit when my cat was diagnosed with Diabetes. Using Mellit in addition to Insulin has helped stabilize her cat's blood sugar and it is very easy to use. I just put 4 drops in her food twice a day and she doesn't even know she is getting medicine. I would highly recommend this product for any cat that has diabetes.

Mellit has saved me hundreds of dollars in vet fees plus the grief of insulin shots for my cat. I can't believe my girlfriend and I were discussing if we should put our cat down after the vet diagnosed diabetes when I found Mellit on the website. This product simply saved his life! Given orally thru the supplied eyedropper twice daily and he is back to his normal self! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I have a 12 year old male cat who was diagnosed with diabetes. The vet did not want to start him on insulin at the time. So, he had been doing ok until recently when I noticed he lost a lot of weight and his fur had gotten greasy and matted. He also didn't have any energy and would just lay around and would not even get up in my lap like he used to. He was always very loving and affectionate. When I started noticing the change in him, he would just lay on the floor and was not eating much at all, plus his legs were shaky and wobbly when he would walk. I got very worried that we would lose him. So, I started researching on the internet and saw your product. Because it said it was natural, I decided to try it and to mine and my husband's amazement, it worked. He has gained some weight back and walks straight again, his legs are not wobbly and he's started jumping up on the bed and in my lap again. I have my cat back. We also started him on canned food because we read some of your reviews that suggested that. We truly believe the product saved his life. It's a miracle. We can't believe the change in him. Thanks so much for your product.

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
We have a 10yr old diabetic male tabby named Gizmo that we adopted at 6. He got diabetes at 7-8yrs old despite a good diet (from us at least). Our prior male Clarence, also adopted, also had diabetes at 8yrs with a cheap food diet so we knew better the second time around but just got unlucky. Clarence did not get Mellit, we did not know about it then and/or it was not available yet. He only got Purina DM prescription food for diabetes but still lived to 16 as he had a good heart and stong will to live! Now Gizmo has been on the same DM food, but with Mellit twice a day, since he got the diabetes 2 years ago. **Niether cat was given insulin shots against the Vet recommendations** Clarence was very weak and scrawny and threw up quite often, never regaining his lost weight and strength. Gizmo, while initially weakened, has now rebounded on Mellit and DM to be almost fully "back to normal" in size and function, although he still drinks and pees more than a normal cat due to the diabetes. He does not throw up at all (well hardly ever) with Mellit. It took him about 1+ year on the Mellit to reach this state and be stable/healthy so Mellit is not an instant fix, you need to be patient. As a side note, we also "caught on" to Gizzmo's condition much sooner than Clarence, so he did not degrade as far but I still believe Mellit is a difference maker in his health for sure. For other diabetic cat owners, a couple tips. When your cat pees alot, they lose Potassium and therefore cannot build/keep muscle. I put a tiny pinch of crushed potassium pills (Potassium Gluconate in vitamin isle) in Gizmo's food each meal to keep his muscles strong and it works. Did the same for Clarence, but he had already lost so much muscle by the time I started it, so he got stronger but never back to normal. To feed him the Mellit and potassium, I put a 1/2 cup of his DM food in a bowl with water 50/50 and microwave for 90 seconds to boil it, then smash it up. This makes "wet" DM food that allows you to mix in the Mellit and potassium powder. Then I give him a small serving of this "medicine" along with his 1/3 cup of DM dry food twice a day. Works like a charm, NO Insulin required!

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
My 14 year old male cat was diagnosed with diabetes after urine and blood tests. We decided not to use insulin so I decided to research feline diabetes on the internet. I found this website and mellit and the more I read the comments and checked out the company, the more I thought it would work. I also stopped his dry food, he finished his special diet canned foot (UTI problems) and tried diabetic canned food. In the meantime I ordered mellit and switched to a lower carb canned food. Well once I started giving him the mellit, within a week he was like a new cat... over the next few he seemed completely well. His last urine test showed everything was in the normal range. A blood test is planned in the next few weeks, but to look at him now I wouldn't have believed it was possible. All thanks to mellit and a change in diet he now acts and looks like his normal self.

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I give this to my 12 year old female cat who is obese and has all of the symptoms of diabetes. She weighs 27lbs. When she doesn't get the drops she can't walk more than 4 steps and lives next to her water bowl. Before the drops, she never went outside. A few days after starting the drops she spends time all over the house, drinks less, and goes outside every night and many times a day. She has more energy, is interactive and just seems to overall feel better. We don't expect her to live much longer, but she sure is enjoying her life more than she has in six years. I wish I had known about this product sooner.

Comments about NHV Mellit for Cat Diabetes:
I began noticing my 13 year old cat, Jeepers, showing signs of feline diabetes back in October. He was eating huge amounts of food daily, drinking even more water, but getting increasingly thin. His fur looked ratty and he started to urinate very frequently---usually outside the litter box on the basement floor.
I knew something had to be done, but the thought of daily insulin did not really appeal to me---I wanted to try to find something natural first. I began looking online for homeopathic remedies for diabetes and came across the Mellit. After reading tons of teh reviews I decided it was worth a try!
First thing I did was change his diet. I switched his dry food to a much higher quality, meat-based food and also began portion control (which a life-time grazer hates). I also began supplementing with an all meat wet food (when I did my research I read someplace that fancy feast -- a few varieties--are all meat or seafood. Then I ordered 2 bottles of Mellit. To my amazement, Jeepers began to put weight back on within a couple weeks. All my friends noticed a big difference right away too. I also noticed he was drinking less and was not urinating as frequently. He would still eat more often if I would let him he was a grazer all his 13 years and liked it that way...but other than that I have seen and amazing improvement of his health, weight and overall appearance.

Question:
I have a 14 year old siamese, diagnose with Vas and diabetes, can I use Mellit and Es Clear at the same time? Also I've had a hard time giving her medicines before, do they work if I put some drops in her legs so she has to lick it to clean herself?
Thank'sAsked on 1/26/2012 by Catira from Zaragoza, Spain1 answer
Answer:
Mellit and ES Clear can definitely be used in conjunction without any interactions. They are both oral supplements, so it is suggested to administer them orally into her mouth, or added onto food, twice a day. We would not recommend adding the drops to her legs as she would not be guaranteed to receive the full dosage to see the best results.Answered on 1/30/2012 by Anonymous
Question:
My cat Shelby has been insulin free now for 6 years due to changing his diet. He is now showing signs of needing to be on insulin shots again but still not staying high enough to give insulin shots as his high on a curve I just did yesterday was 130 and his low was 86. Do you think giving him the Mellit would help to level him out more so I don't have to start the insulin shots again as that is very expensive? He also has a bladder infection that I am giving antibiotics for so this so could this also be causing these readings? But I would definately like to try this product. What are your recommendations? He weighs 6 lbs.Asked on 1/18/2012 by Nance from Luverne, MN1 answer
Answer:
Mellit is helpful for manage blood sugar levels as well as support insulin bio-availability. As Mellit is not suitable on it's own for every pet, we suggest to inform your veterinarian when you start your cat on Feline Mellit and ask how you can monitor blood and urine glucose levels at home. Also monitor closely following any adjustment in diet. I am unaware of the side effects the medication the veterinarian has prescribed for your pet's bladder infection would have on your pet's blood sugar levels, I would suggest contacting your veterinarian and being sure of the side effects of that medication.
The dosage would be 3 droplets twice a day into your pet's food or directly into your pet's mouth. If you or your Veterinarian has any further questions regarding our product please do not hesitate to contact us: 1-877-633-2401Answered on 1/19/2012 by Coreena

Do you still have.to.give.your.cat.insulin shots with this product or does it replace the insulin shots?
Thank you,Asked on 1/16/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
Answer:
Our Mellit product can be used in conjunction with insulin yes. Some of our customers have had such great success that they have eventually been able to wean their cats off of the insulin onto using only the Mellit product. A recommended lifestyle change usually includes a healthy species appropriate diet, high in protein and no complex carbohydrates. If your cat is overweight, you should help him lose weight through diet and increased exercise. Caution: Weight loss should be gradual. If cats lose weight too quickly or stop eating, they can become prone to a serious illness called Hepatic Lipidosis where an excess of fat builds up in the cells of the liver (also called Fatty Liver Syndrom). Be very careful of transitioning your cat to a new food slowly to ensure they are eating adequate amounts daily. Cats cannot be fasted! Conventional treatment may also include regular injections of insulin. Your cats feeding regime will be determined when a glucose curve is done by a veterinarian. This will indicate the best time to give insulin and when to feed your cat.

Question:
I ordered this product and received it this past week. I used it this past weekend on my cat. I checked his BG religiously this weekend and this product seemed to raise his BG instead of lowering it. I was wondering why it did that?? I gave it in combination with his insulin. I also tried giving it to him at separate times from his insulin and it still appears to have raised his blood sugar (glucose).Asked on 1/9/2012 by Pam1 answer
Answer:
Generally our Mellit takes anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks for your pet to show results. It should not be causing a raise in his BG. Before taking the supplement we suggest speaking to your veterinarian to be sure they confirm our supplement is suitable for your pet. If they recommend trying the Mellit they generally make the recommendation of lowering the amount of insulin per day. If you have no spoke to your veterinarian regarding our supplement, I would suggest consulting with he or she with the full list of ingredients.Answered on 1/11/2012 by Coreena
Question:
How often should I have the vet recheck my 12 yr old cat who is now on insulin if I start him on Mellit also? Can Mellit be found in any pet food stores so I don't have to order it? Thank you.Asked on 1/6/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
Answer:
Our Mellit is only available through our website at this time. It is very important to monitor blood sugar levels on a more regular, even on a daily basis to determine if there is a need for you to adjust the amount of insulin you are giving. Please inform your veterinarian when you start your cat on Feline Mellit and ask how you can monitor blood and urine glucose levels at home. Also monitor closely following any adjustment in diet. Especially if moving from a higher carbohydrate kibble diet to a higher protien, lower carbohydrate diet. Lower carb diets may reduce the percentage of body fat and lower insulin requirements.Answered on 1/10/2012 by Coreena
Question:
One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes last September - he is on Lantus insulin and our vet has gradually increased his dosage to 5 units twice a day but as of this morning his blood sugar reading is still very high at over 500. I showed our vet the details about Mellit and she all for trying it but first wanted to check out information on one of the ingredients. My question though is whether or not it would be a problem if one of our other cats ate the food containing the Mellit drops - we are a multi-cat household and our cats range in weight considerably. Also, our diabetic cat weighs 11 lbs 10 ozs so should we give him 5 or 6 drops?Asked on 1/5/2012 by Niki from Kissimmee, FL1 answer
Answer:
We do not recommend allowing the other cats in the house to ingest the Mellit. The cat with diabetes would need to have his dose given directly into their mouth or offered in a small amount of soft food off of a spoon. The dose for your pet is 6 drops in the AM and another 6 drops in the PM.Answered on 1/10/2012 by Anonymous
Question:
After reading your website and many of the comments from users, I am not clear on one key point: Can Mellit ALONE improve a cat (14 1/2 years) just diagnosed with diabetes, or are insulin shots also required? The reading done at the vet said her diabetic level was at 500.
Thank you.Asked on 1/4/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
Answer:
Feline Mellit is completely natural, without harsh chemicals. It is gentle enough for long-term use. Please keep in mind that using an herbal formulation for diabetes could help to regulate insulin levels, it can also be used on a pet that has yet to be directed to use insulin.

My diabetic can as lost weight, but her belly seems swollen though not painful. She doesn't feel good, and I wonder is trying Mellit and Tripsy together would be okay.Asked on 1/3/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
Answer:
I would suggest taking your pet to the veterinarian so they are able to physically examine your pet and provide a proper diagnosis. Please keep in mind that using an herbal formulation for diabetes could help to regulate insulin levels. It is very important to monitor blood sugar levels on a more regular, even on a daily basis to determine if there is a need for you to adjust the amount of insulin you are giving. Please inform your veterinarian when you start your cat on Feline Mellit and ask how you can monitor blood and urine glucose levels at home. If your vet finds the supplement suitable you are also welcome to use it in conjunction with the Tripsy if it is indeed a kidney issue. The Tripsy will help support kidney infection, help prevent infection and ease painful symptoms.Answered on 1/9/2012 by Coreena

Answer:
Mellit can be very effective in helping the body better utilize insulin, both any that the body is naturally producing and also insulin injections. We do suggest that you carefully monitor blood sugar levels for the first few months after starting with Mellit as the amount of insulin may need to be adjusted.
