^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 36 snowy deg. F :-) ******************************************************************* Dear friends, My blood glucose was measured at 85, and then 26 just fifteen minutes later,at the doctor's office yesterday. The second reading (26) seems too low, as if the blood glucose monitor needed re-calibration. Does anyone know if Sinemet ( or L-dopa) can either depress or elevate blood sugar? The pharmacy lieterature supplied to me whenever I get a refilled Rx, warns of the possibilty of False Positive tests for diabetic patients. Is PD the cause of low blood sugar? Could off-periods be, or coincide with, low-sugar periods? Sometimes, sweet juices diluted with water bring me out of an off-period, with NO medications. I am now trying to learn if I am sometimes slightly over-medicated , when all I really might need is a changed diet, one which frees more sugar to the blood. Would anyone with experience or insight please comment? Katherynne Holden? THANK YOU, Ivan Suzman 50/39/36
