Mister's Dosing - Pt. 3

He has both unfortunately. Please start a post over on the acro forum, lots of knowledgeable people over there too! https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/forums/acromegaly-iaa-cushings-cats.12/

It is NOT the end of the world. Acro is very treatable, and not a death sentence like most people/vets seem to think. Most importantly - he doesn't know he has it, he's still the same kitty so give him some scratches and cuddles. The IAA is just secondary and not a huge deal, just annoying.

I would talk to your vet about switching to Levemir though when your current ProZinc runs out, acro cats tend to do best on Lantus and Levemir (Levemir for doses above 9U-ish).

I'll pop over there later tonight when I have more time to drop a bunch of info and links for you
 
Start with the word doc here in the meantime A little outdated but it gives a very good overview.

When looking at the life expectancy please remember the majority of cats that are diagnosed are old to begin with. Most people here have lost their acro cats to something else entirely, kidneys or cancer

Your link doesn't go to a word doc.

I just created another thread in the Acro section of the forum here: https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/mister-has-very-high-igf-1-what-are-my-options.262196/
