Insulin Resistance, Parkinson's Disease, Consequences And What To Do About It
The topic of insulin resistance (IR) in PwP is not often discussed. Has your MDS or neurologist ever tested you for IR? It is estimated that two thirds of people with PD who are not diabetic, have IR and very likely are not even aware they have IR as discussed here : https://www.parkinson.org/blog/

Why watermelon is good for us
Only 6.8% of U.S. adults have optimal cardiometabolic health, while an estimated 47 million have cardiometabolic disorders Watermelon contains L-citrulline and L-arginine, which are nitric oxide (NO) precursors; NO helps relax blood vessels and widen arteriesConsuming watermelon juice attenuates reductions

Meralgia paresthetica
Does anybody know if it is possible that this only affects you when you go to bed at night? After 5 to 10 minutes of laying down, I begin to get a tingling sensation from my hip to my knee. I often feel like I need to stretch or foam roll for temporary relief, though once I lay down again the sensations

Greetings
Hello all. I joined this forum today as my doctor has told me I need to get from 87kg, 13.7st, 191.8lb to 70kg. That is a loss of 17kg, 2.7st, 37.5lb. This is assuming my conversions are correct. Recently I was diagnosed with Diabetes T2, Metabolic Syndrome, and Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome

Good morning one & all I am, as you know, now on 2,100 gabapentin taken in divided doses in the evenings to no avail. Today I spoke to my GP and to my amazement he is happy to start me on low dose oxycodone (to take at night). Thank you so much Sue & Jools for suggesting I sent him all the articles

I've signed up for Tim Spector's ZOE study looking at blood sugars and gut health
I've long had an interest in how the foods we eat affect inflammation and weight and generally follow low -carb eating, although I often lapse and am not as diciplined as Id like to be. So this sounds fascinating to me, especially as I'm also interested in gut-health science. Taking part starts by

magnesium, potassium, taurine combo supplement?
I was doing some research and came across this plan which suggests taking the above 3 supplements. I'm aware magnesium has been discussed and recommended but wasn't ware of the combination. Does anyone take all 3 or have any links to other articles regarding the benefits? Does anyone have a UK source

Lidocaine Plasters/Patches.
Hello Everyone I've just been told by my GP that he can no longer prescribe Lidocaine Patches and instead there is a cream!. I've been having them for a long time for neuropathic pain and just wonder if this is correct.?. Also, is anyone trying the cream called LMX and how are you finding it?. Hope
