It also has some excellent Addison's info.
Addison's Disease classifies as another autoimmune condition I do NOT want. Along with celiac,
hyper and hypo thyroidism, Vitiligo, Scleroderma, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, etc. Diabetes is quite enough, thank you very much. I would not cope well, if I got any of the above.
I thought this was rather interesting. Its handy to know what drugs are gonna do to your blood glucose.
Other biggies...
Symlin. (duh) Down, Down, Downnnnnnnnnnnnn............... Hello, Carpet.
Alpha Lipoic Acid. (Down) I don't have neuropathy, I take it solely for its glucose uptake properties. I figure, since it doesn't seem to have toxic quantities, anything it can do in the insulin sensitivity department is a positive thing. And its an antioxidant, too boot.
Magnesium. I've heard that D's are sometimes deficient in this anyway, sufficient levels of magnesium play a large role in regulating blood glucose levels. I've a kidney leak, (unrelated to D)and must take this and a dieretic to keep my blood levels of magnesium up. I can tell the differance, its harder to manage blood sugar levels when my magnesium levels are scraping bottom (versus when they're nearly normal) Its a good idea to get this checked- doctors don't generally run blood tests for it. (unless you're having other symptoms, like low potassium)
My sister-in-law's Cherry Pie. (definatly an upper!:-)
Anyone know of any other(s)?
