Experiences with

Dextrose

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are ANY NDTs out there without corn (maize) or derivatives like dextrose? Thanks.

It has to be paired with Buproprion specifically to keep the Dextrose from metabolizing so quickly. Many Dr’s will give the lowest dose Buproprion 150mg and have the patient buyDextromethirphan over the counter which is very inexpensive. Avuelity is 1200/ month! Anybody out there tried this?

Has anyone else had a problem with Dextrose. It says it is 'Gluten Free' but I have eaten a product with this ingredient and I have swelled up like a balloon all around my tummy, abdomen and hips and it hurts.

Diet advocates routinely cast saturated fats as evil. In the literature, you can find studies to support a wide variety of views of fats. You may recall when the USDA went all in on low fat and brought us things like margarine made with trans fats, which we know was a very bad idea. We have prepared

As you can see from the title, I was refused ozempic ( or equivalent) I have managed to reduce my glucose levels from being in the 20’s mmol/L to being in the 10’s But now I seem to have stopped it dropping any further, I also have a very fatty non alcoholic liver, I’ve being doing keto, but have

I've just led a Zoom discussion on low carb eating and in doing the research for it, it got me thinking Apart from the back pains, which I won’t bore you with today, I’m feeling pretty good and I think I’ve figured out why. Yes it’s partly to do with being full of the joys of spring and yes I am quite

Non-Thyroidal Illness Syndrome has long been somewhat mysterious. Despite low T3 levels, actually giving the patient T3 has not been widely seen as beneficial. It has also long been seen that hypothyroidism can (and does) cause loss of muscle mass. Though sometimes this has not been obvious as

I met with the gastroenterology NP about the findings from the MRI/MRCP. Fortunately, the findings are just something we need to to monitor and do not require any major changes. Liver steatosis (fatty liver) - Plan is to lose weight. Target 20 pounds. Lose it slowly, about 1 pound per week. Keep

I was in the ER Sunday night into Monday with an unusually violent a-fib episode. I can usually ride them out, but this one was different and it dropped my BP dangerously low. Downloading test results after the event, I saw that my glucose was high at 146. I know nothing about glucose as I never

Hello All, I had posted before my problems with CRP which was very variable fluctuating from 20, 40, 25, 23 not responding to increased prednisone dosage. This problem started immediately after I got Covid 19. in September 2024. My CRP was 4.3 in August and increased to 7.6 on October 1st 20.7

When I was given my prescription I was advised to wipe after urinating to avoid Thrush due to the extra glucose in my urine. I've been on the medication for 4 months and recently noticed a rash on the head of my penis. It's not sore or itchy and seems to be under the skin. I think it may be Balantis

It's a new compound for diabetes and obesity, more powerful than metformin but way safer. Once I have seen the pathways that it is able to influence and activate, I wanted to dive deeper into its possible effects on cancer. It's just a speculation, there are no direct studies on humans, but still, quite

Hi, been on 100mcg levo for 12 weeks then endo tested me, normally they test me after 6-8 weeks but now gave me extra time to try to lose some weight too due to low testosterone which they think is more due to my fatty liver and lower SHBG rather than pituitary problem. Had tested FT3, FT4, TSH,

I'm going to be leading a discussion on this for the Yorkshire group and anyone interested in the topic is also welcome to join us. I've written several posts about this in the past including what I learned from wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). If interested send an email to yorkshire@pmrgca.org.uk

I have both CLL (contained by Acalabrutinib with it's side effects) and Diabetes (controlled with slow release insulin, metformin and sitaglyptin plus a healthy biome-focused diet). At Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, I receive the best care imaginable but I have a problem over the Diabetes. I am highly

Recent lab work from my dad showed elevated glucose levels (pre-diabetic levels). Wondering if other than diet and exercise adjustments (which will be made after his TAVR procedure within the month) if there are any suggestions for managing it? I've read up on metformin a bit but not sure if this

Hi all, happy start to the weekend. I see a lot of posts regarding low Cortisol, but I seem to have high Cortisol readings, and wondered if anyone had similar and/or had any clues as to what the issue could be? I've been trying to work out why I have a lot of head pain first thing upon waking and at

If I felt my sugar was low I would have 6 glucose jelly beans, I wouldn’t take any creon forte, now I will take a 25000 creon (may sound like overkill and probably is) but trust me the jelly beans will give me more problems than the creon will because I have eaten something (never had a problem with
