Does Besremi cause high blood sugar?
I started Besremi two weeks ago. My first dose was 100 mcg. I am supposed to take my second dose today, and increase it to 150mcg. The thing is, I had a BMB this week, since my MPN specialist wanted to have a baseline, and prior to the biopsy had some blood tests at the hospital. I got some of the results

Will Androgen-nourished Prostate Cancer Cells Succumb to "Glucose/Glutamine Starvation"?
If prostate cancer cells are enriched with androgens that normally propel their growth and spread, could they still be "starved" by selectively inhibiting their GLUT receptor expressions to block their uptake of glucose and also by limiting their ability to turn to and utilize glutamine as a backup

I have so missed taking the time to post and read posts from the group. Even today I should be doing 'thank you' notes.

Metabolic symptoms at 3am
With increasing frequency, I wake up at about 3am feeling unusually hot, like a hot flash. Lasts about 30 minutes. As it tends to follow a larger than normal evening meal, with some alcohol, I don't think it is hormone related. If this is some kind of transient metabolic phenomenon - is it more likely

Just saw Endocrinologist; Cutting Back on Insulin
I’m pretty thrilled! Pre-transplant I had controlled my type II diabetes for a little over 15 years without meds. The anti-rejection meds have changed all of that. I’ve been taking 12 units long lasting insulin at bedtime and 1 unit of short acting for every 10 carbs with meals. But I’ve been experiencing

Celebrex and Curcumin and Magnesium.
I recently received a question from a fellow warrior based on a comment I had made on an older post that he had started. The question was what I thought about Naproxen compered to Celebrex and I told him I had very limited experience with Naproxen. I then clicked on older posts about nsaids and prostate

Pre-diabetic. Related?
Been feeling really draggy and have had a cold which will not go away for a month. So got a physical. Only abnormality was fasting glucose at pre-diabetes level. Blood sugar has always been low. Diabetes in my family so I am very careful. I am probably 10 lbs overweight, not a lot ( 5' 3" size 8).

So proud of little Oscar
We go for our 5K runs without the dogs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, then once back take the dogs for their morning walk. The other days, its just the dog walks. I swear the dogs do it on purpose, but when we get up for our run, they just lay in their beds apparently asleep and are still there

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

metformin ?
I have recently stated to check my glucose by finger prick as although my HbAc1 has been ok and unchanged I am aware I am anaemic after 18 months of zoladex. My fasting morning glucose is 7.2 (129.6) and my 2 hour after evening meal was 8.3 (147.6). The issue is that my weigh is good and unchanged

Does reducing blood sugar help?
I am wondering what happens if cll patients just eat foods that cut out sugar spikes? Does that help?
