    A recent paper called "Quality of life and response to treatment in cats with hypersomatotropism: the owners’ point of view" by Andrea Corsini, Stijn Niessen, Diego Miceli at al, Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, May 26, 2022. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1098612X221098718

    A few years ago we had some Italian researchers post a link to a questionnaire here - I wonder if this was the results. The authors are from around the world.

    Interestingly, of the 127 cats studied, 5% were not diabetic. Summary, cabergoline scores on improvement following treatment was similar to radiation and should be considered as an effective management option. Note, "radiation" in this context does not mean just SRT. Would have been interesting to see it broken down further.
