Alan, This is indeed fascinating. I've been keenly aware of the interaction of my blood sugar with the various medications. Correlation, if any was not readily obvious, but I had become aware of the Med/protein thing, before I saw it on here. I always feel MUCH better after a good meal. And, while I have not been diagnosed as a diabetic, (hyperglycemia), my father and all of his siblings were diabetics. My tiger has been Hypoglycemia, which has caused MUCH nerve damage over the years. Sensation and motor control was lost in my legs and arms/hands several times, and my body weight fluctuated as much as much as 100 lb. in 6 months.(130 to 230) In fact when tremors and weakness in left side began, I assumed that it was starting all over again--definitely food for thought. You've got me curiously interested now as what factual correlation there might be.
