How old are your acro dx kitties?

I thought it was weird that Baxter never developed insulin resistance until age 9.

Curious whether this is typical or not.

11 years old is the typical average, we've seen them as young as 4 and more senior than 11. Diabetes is mostly a later stage condition of acromegaly, so he could have been acro before being diabetic. The vast majority of kitties get their acromegaly diagnosis as a result of the diabetes, but not all. In hind sight, Neko had at least one symptom about 6 months before getting her diabetes diagnosis.
