Experiences with

Dextrose

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

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.

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?

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

Thank you for all the comments re pred-induced diabetes and just to say I read your posts TangoCharlie with interest. I had watched an episode of the Glucose Godess but frankly I was a bit bewildered. I had an appt with my GP on Thursday. In the 3 minute consultation she said that I needed to take medication

I started heart medications over a month ago after heart failure. These include Atorvastatin, Forxiga/Dapaglifozin, Bisoprolol, Eplerenone, Clopidogeral, Ramipril and aspirin. I have had two urine tests following muscle pain and back ache about a week apart and both show traces of blood and glucose.

My husband is on ADT and Orgovyx and Flomax and Cyalis. His glucose which was 90-100 range rose to 130 this month even though he’s lost weight and eats healthy. I know ADT can do that. Any suggestions appreciated to combat rising glucose while on the meds. His Dr told him he will be in it atlwqst for

Thank you everyone for the replies! I have an added problem with hyperPARAthyroidism. High calcium distorts glucose metabolism, I think. Having had a thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer (more than 20 years ago) makes things complicated too. I will definitely try T3 on a regular basis now, taking

I am currently visiting family in Australia. Lovely as it is I have been feeling unwell, I suspected that I had a UTI. Eventually I decided to go the Emergency Department, thinking I needed anti biotics. Blissful little hospital in a tropical setting. I was the only patient ( sorry Brits). While there

Hi All, So I decided to get my Thyroid levels tested after just under 6 weeks on 1 1/4 grain of NDT as I have been feeling awful since starting the higher dose (Obsessive, night sweats, Constantly anxious). My range on NDT Grain 1 was as follows: TSH 3.12 mIU/L Range: 0.27 - 4.20 T4 13.6 pmol

I wrote this forum about 3 years ago and received great advice. Any thoughts now would be very welcome. I am worried about Thyroid medication and bone loss. I broke my hip April of 2024 and the hospital said my TSH was too low and that could be the reason for osteoporosis. I know that probably isn't

Hey, everybody!Strange case. Consilium of doctors, after PSMA PET CT recommended Lu177, and today, the doctor in charge of this therapy said that PSMA expression in metastasis is low. A day later scheduled an FDG PET CT scan. If it turns out that my mets( prostate removed 3 years ago) are already feeding

What connection is there between HA1C, glucose metabolism and insulin resistance? Thank you.
