^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 32 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Recently, when "Off" , I avoid taking a little more PD medicine, and instead drink or sip fruit juices. With this one small change, I sometimes recover markedly I have had 2 shocking readings of 26 for blood sugar, although there may be calibration errors in two different blood sugar-monitoring machines. In the past, I had sometimes slightly overmedicated myself, not realizing it was raised blood sugar that I needed,. instead of more medication. My doctor's nurse called today. A prescription for a glucose-monitoring machine has been written for me. The goal is to teach myself how to read warning symptoms of lowered blood sugar in myself, and to distinguish these from signs of low dopamine. Sincerely yours Ivan 50/39/36
