Hi John Thanks for sharing! I'd love to talk more about this subject and am looking forward to your longer reply. My diabetes is juvenile-onset, and I have been on insulin for 35 yrs. Currently 3 injections/day. Novolin NPH and TORONTO/Regular. I have had PD symptoms for 3+ yrs, however the Doctors kept blaming my diabetes. I'm anxious to obtain as much info as possible prior to the start of my Meds. in the end of March so I appreciate your help.
