Does Firmagon injection scar tissue go away? How long does it take?
After about 8 months of Firmagon monthly injections in my belly area, I switched 3 months ago to Lupron injections in my “love handles.” I switched to preserve remaining belly sites not made lumpy by Firmagon for my insulin pump ports—insulin injection plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). I insert

Second visit to endocrinology today.
Second visit to endocrinology today. I originally went to the endocrinologist because of low blood sugar. She put on a continuous glucose monitor and gave me instructions about managing this problem. At the same time I was on the Diflucan. As time went on my hypoglycemia seem to get worse and worse and

greeting from nowhere
I live in just about the middle of nowhere, slight to the North. Going to town for a simple test takes half the day and I have gotten so far behind in work that I just can't keep doing this. I recently had what I thought was a urinary tract infection based on pain and additional difficulty urinating

Unwell on Mother’s Day.
Unwell on Mother’s Day. My sister and I have had hypoglycemia for many years. But we were able to manage it quite easily. As I taper down the prednisone to around 4 to 5 mg my hypoglycemia tend to get worse but I was able to manage it pretty well. I consulted an endocrinologist who then suggested I go

Anyone experiencing possible tendon or ligament lower back of leg and ankle discomfort? Can't determine. Can it be diabetes symptoms?
I'm on 13mls. liquid pred. Just tapered from 15mls. Have been having these new symptoms the last few weeks. Last blood tests elevated glucose. Also increased appetite and depression. Any suggestions or comments welcomed. Thank you.

Morning glucose reading
Good morning I have type 2 diabetes can someone tell me what my readings should be in the morning? My GP said under 11 then another doctor told me about 8. Most days I am under 10 on waking up, I go to bed with readings of 6 and wake to 8-9 why do they raise at night? I use a glucomem metre

Blood sugar and Parkinson’s
Good morning all! I read within the last year about the phenomenon or whatever you wanna call the feeling of having low blood sugar or low glucose levels and yet testing normal for A-1 C, diabetes, etc. Can anyone explain this? I wake up every morning feeling extremely hungry to the point of feeling

Do you change anything when you’re ill?
It’s occurred to me before, probably as a result of something my diabetic dad said to me many years ago. So I have a sore throat. Not any sore throat, oh no. This is the mother of all strep throats. Entirely unsurprising after a year of not being exposed to anything or anyone - the first bug my system

T3 only update, T3 circadian, Heart rate
Hello. Writing an update for those interested in T3 only experiences and struggles. About three weeks ago I started T3 only. I had low storage of T4 so I skipped my morning dose of Levothyroxine and started 25mcg of T3 before bed that evening. Had I been on my usual dose of Levo for several months/years

How Calories from Sugar/simple carbs, are different than calories from other food.
Most adult males require about 2,500 calories to maintain body weight. Most doctors will tell you that maintaining body weight is about calories in and calories out, regardless of caloric source. 3 teaspoons of sugar and one apple are calorically equal – about 50 calories. Theoretically, if you ate

Help with result please - endo treating by TSH only!
Hi there. Please can someone help with these results. My endo keeps dropping my T3 and wanting me to add more T4 via NDT. He originally suggested I add in 50mcg levo even though he said in his letter that I had previously not tolerated it, hence the NDT. I note from my medical records that I was diagnosed

Extreme side-effects from ADT
Anyone have a clue whether the following rapid deterioration can be a result of ADT? My fasting glucose went from excellent 78 mg/dL = 4.4 mmol/l to almost diabetic 123 mg/dl = 6.9 mmol/L. in stages in the space of not much more than a single month, after five months of Firmagon. Tested twice last

Can Abiraterone/Zytiga cause low blood sugar?
I’m diabetic and use an insulin pump. I’m on Abiraterone for about 5 months now, with hydrocortisone 10 mg per day to control Abiraterone side effects during PC treatment. Also took about 9 months Firmagon shots, but just switched to Lupron to preserve belly area for pump insulin insertion ports or continuous

Diabetes Type 2, PD and Berberine
Diabetes is a common disease that affects many Americans and 90 to 95% of diabetics have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). I will be discussing T2DM and one option to help deal with it effectively based on multiple studies. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is significantly less common so I will focus this discussion
