Good questions for your Dr. That what he gets those big bucks for. Make sure you find a specialist in movement disorders. You sstart mixing "brain candy" willy-nilly and you are liable to end up worse off than you are.

Since elevated blood sugar "can happen" when one takes sinemet, does anyone know if the "elevated blood sugar" reading is a true reading and indicates diabetes, or if it is a false reading of the blood sugar due to the sinemet? 2. Also, since sinemet loses its efficacy & has its own side effects, has anyone tried (& what) taking no, or less sinemet and doing something else to manage the PD?? Jennifer
