Nephrologist Visit
I saw the nephrologist today and am so glad that I did. First, she is a total sweetheart and spent a lot of time asking questions and really listening to the answers. Then she spent time telling me what she thinks happened and what she thinks will happen in the future. Everything was positive and

SWITCHING TO INSULIN INJECTION FROM ORAL
As a Type 2, I have been managing my fasting sugar level of around 120 since the late 90s very successfully by following the devices of my USA-qualified Endocrinologist. My regular diet centered around LCHF with Diamicrone 80 twice a day. Covid-19 changed my whole system. After taking the 2nd dose

Metformin interfering with HDT therapy
Sloboy writing on this as I take Metformin. I read an article that Metformin interferes with the work of the high dose B1 therapy. Is anyone taking Metformin by chance and having successful high dose B1? Appreciate any information. Im sure I need to take a higher dose of B1 than what I have done
