Lack of appetite from diabetic cat

Hi there,

My cat was recently diagnosed as diabetic two weeks ago. He was prescribed insulin 2x daily and we slowly changed his diet to the wet foods after researching online with Binky's comparison chart. Our vet was pushing the dry diabetic cat foods which I resisted after reading all the information online.

The first initial week he was doing very well and enjoying the wet cat food, now two weeks later he has stopped eating his food and is not interested in chicken or turkey,the first day we called the vet and were told by the vet tech not to give his dose while the vet told us to give the insulin... after almost two days of this we brought him back to the vet who tested his blood sugar and we were told to hold off an insulin shots because his blood sugar had dropped. The vet has mentioned an pill or injection to stimulate his appetite.

What is recommended as I have doubts about what is actually best for my cat.

Thanks
