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?

I had a follow-up MRI and met with my Neurologist/NF Specialist yesterday. There is no sign of recurrence of the brain tumor. In fact, it seems I have a rather healthy brain for someone age 69. There is less cortical ischemia than many my age have and no signs that would indicate a risk of developing

After almost two years on Ibrance and letrezole, I had progression. I only have mets to my liver. It was discovered I have the Pik3CA mutation. In late December I started Ibrance, Fulvesterant, and Itovebi. Within a few days, my glucose level went to over 300. The Itovebi was stopped for a few days,

I have been under Moorfields eye hospital since July 24 following an episode of uveitis which appeared mid covid in my right eye. Monitoring has now shown microaneurysms in only my left eye which apparently is consistent with a diabetes diagnosis (which I don't have). I do have steroid induced glaucoma

My story is in the bio. Had an appointment with my Hopkins MO yesterday. Apparently my case is weird enough that it has attracted a fair amount of interest there. They're trying to understand how in these circumstances in the absence of treatment the PSA could be rapidly dropping. Neither my local

Cortisol is mentioned. Female hormones too. No mention of thyroid but suggests tester will be useful for wider hormones. None wider than hypothyroidism in my book.

Hi all. Not had the best Christmas. Last time I was on I mentioned headaches, problem with my eye kids and feelings of weakness. On advice from some of you guys I tried to get the ball rolling to see someone. I spent half a day on the phone after calling 911 and in the end gave up with the only advice

I recently posted my latest presentation about Parkinson's and nutrition here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7kT4OonMV0. I call it a ketogenic lifestyle. I combine a ketogenic diet with MCT oil and sufficient exercise. (The presentation is in Dutch. Most here will not be Dutch speaking and can use

hi there I have been on thyroxine medication for 20 years and now have glucose in my urine . I have to have a diabetes blood test. Anyone know if this might be to do with the medication as I am not overweight and very active.

Hi everyone, On the suggestion of one of the kind members in the group, and following my recent PMR diagnosis and the start of15mg Pred with accompanying increase of glucose levels, I got hold of one of the monitors free of charge from Abbott It arrived the following day and I have to say hiw impressed

Well I had my annual diabetes check and all is still 'good', altho I would like to improve as I had excellent control last year. I'm diet only. Only downside was I have put on half a stone since last year, which I knew cause of my clothes being a tad tight, but in defence as I am soooo tired I am achieving

Honestly, I did not know that we did not know how this drug worked but...here it comes... A new study in [i]Science Advances[/i] has found that metformin lowers blood sugar by interfering with mitochondria, the cell's "powerhouse". The drug specifically blocks mitochondrial complex I, reducing

Hi all I hope you're well. Anyone else have experience of gestational diabetes? Been so good with my diet and glucose levels are still high. Went on insulin on Tuesday and levels are still high and been increased once already. Hope we can find the right dosage soon as I worry about the impact of this

I have now been on anastrozole about 20 months and stable. Had blood work this week. Glucose going up, kidney function going down. Oncology doesn't seem concerned, but I am. I know that these are side effects of anastrozole. Any one reduce dosage or other options? I don't want to be on another drug

Now reading 9 months here and the other forum- especially the horror stories after ADT, it seems lacking as to a newbie like myself what seems missing are what I consider additional contributory factors related to before and after treatment or no treatment. There seems to be so many variables as to

Had two stents fitted in October 2010, and given Ramipril, Bisoprolol, Atoravastatin, Aspirin and Ranitidine. Everything went well, but Ranitidine was withdrawn, so was put on Omeprazole which caused indigestion, and subsequently given Famotidine instead. Everything was fine, until July this year,
