William,

Heavens no -- no  offense at all.  I appreciate your suggestions and hope you
(and others)  will keep 'em coming.

I agree about the similarities in issues related to management and control of
PD and Diabetes.  They can overlap in several ways: for example, on occasion,
I am unclear as to whether what I am feeling (when weak) is an "off" or
"freezing" PD moment, or a low blood sugar, or both; and, longer term, there
has been considerable confusion by the MD's and me as to whether the intense
ulnar neuropathy in my hands arises as a  diabetic or a PD comlication.

I have not  recently considered an insulin  pump (earlier, when I did consider
it, I didn't seem the right sort of candidate -- but perhaps it's worth a look
again).  And the sinemet  pump is a new idea for me, which I'll explore with
my neuro.

Thanks,

John Bachman
