Good morning. Moe is starting with a low blue today; AMPS is 106. Reduced his dose to 7.25 this morning. I sure hope we can maintain the blue/green streak we’ve been having.

Have a great weekend, and stay safe.

I hope he continues to stay in these beautiful numbers. You're doing a great job!

88 at +2. I usually feed Moe Fancy Feast since it’s a little lower in carbs than Friskies. Giving him a little bite of Friskies to try and hold him steady.

Looking great

73 at +3. I might need to feed a little MC.

60 at +4. Fed a tsp of MC. Don’t want to hit that lime green again.

Nice surfing Moe! Now you stay put at those lovely numbers!

Nice surfing. Nice place to stay.

I’m amazed at how reactive to food he is. He ate about a teaspoon and a half of MC food an hour ago and BG is up 24 points.

Max was very carb sensitive too.

Erin,
You are doing a beautiful job for Moe - once again, I scroll through his SS and see such nice progress

Nice surfing today.

175 at +9.5. I always second guess myself after feeding medium carb food. Maybe I should have given him more LC instead of the MC.

Went to Costco and brought home a box. I haven’t seen Moe hang out in a box in *ages*. You can definitely see his acro face in these pics.

May be a dumb question but what is acro? He’s a beautiful kitty!

Not a dumb question. He has acromegaly: A tumor on his pituitary gland that secretes excess growth hormone, causing diabetes and growth of the skull, soft tissue and extremities. His muzzle is enlarged and he’s got a typical “pot belly” due to enlarged organs. He was just diagnosed a few months ago and is taking cabergoline to try and control it. There’s a forum for Acro kitties here on FMDB if you want to learn more

PMPS is 125.

Wonderful cycle today Erin! WTG Moe. Love the box shots. He must feel good in these numbers.

@KittenTheCat Not all acros show the same physical symptoms. Though some are more common.

 

[Tina Marie (GA) and Jan]

Beautiful cycle today! Simply . . . repeat for tonight

Acromegaly caught my attention first because of Wendy's Neko, then another, then another. I've heard that 25% of diabetic cats have acro, but the percentage on these forums doesn't seem that high. Acro kitties have a very special place in my heart
