Many of you who have responded to my research tell me that your parent or sibling is "borderline diabetic." Some say that your sister, mother, brother, etc. has to "watch her/his sugar." This suggests to me that we should look for blood sugar abnormalities of various degrees, from full-blown diabetes to less severe blood glucose abnormalities, in our families. Since I read that 60% of us PWP's (people with Parkinson's) have abnormal glucose tolerance, I've been tring to find the scientific reference to that 60% figure. Anyone know the journal reference? ALSO, continue to E-mail me with stories of your relatives with sugar or diabetic conditions. FINALLY, has anyone noticed that SInemet seems to go into their systems faster with O.J. or butterscotches or Coke or whatever is on hand that is sweet? That's true for me.
