Hi Bob, Your letter strikes a responsive chord with me. It seems that you have the same problem with diabetes I have. Before Parkinsons I had little problem controlling blood sugar. After Parkinsons it became harder and after starting Eldepryl and Permax it really was difficult. Since I started on Sinemet in March of this year it is almost impossible to maintain any semblance of control. I also take Lanoxin in addition to Propranolol, Vasotec, Diazyde and Aspirin. In addition, just to complete the list, I inject Insulin. I firmly believe that the Parkinson medications are affecting the ability to properly control blood sugars. In an attempt to check the effect of Sinemet on my condition, I will, with my Neuro's permission, reduce and if possible eliminate Sinemet altogether. If this proves possible, it might also affect the blood sugars. If this should be so it would, at least, implicate Sinemet. I will let you know how the thing turns out.
