I'm going to stop by my local grocery store and grab some of this stuff and put it to the test. As for now, my sleeping cycle is in complete reverse again, ala vampire mode. I'm basically going to sleep in the afternoon and waking up at 10:00 at night. Eek. It's so much easier for me sleeping...

I'm starting to have second thoughts on this lactulose and manitol intestinal/permeability leaky gut test....there just seems like theres too much room for error here. I don't want to spend $530 CAD including over night shipping if the test results may not even be accurate. I can't afford to...

I could of sworn I was given magnesium oil for sleeping from my ex, or might of been something entirely else and it didnt help. If anything I eat cacao nibs nearly every day and suppsably they're jam packed with magnesium. I'll look into this though and take you're advice as well as consuming...

Yea, people are saying things like white potatoes and grains such as rice can spike your insulin levels aside from being packed with carbs and then there's high glycemic fruit and dried fruit ect. A week before the test I'm going to reduce my carbohydrate intake to 100g a day, ditch the grains...

Hmm, used the One touch meter again after fasting for 8 hours prior to waking up. Ended up getting 5.6 this time, where as yesterday morning it was 5.2.

Also it seems like mainstream MDs and specialists don't even consider intestinal permeability or there at least starting to acknowledge it...sort of. I've been there done that with MDS and specialists you name it. They couldn't help me. I'd only go to an MD if I wanted specific testing done

I've already had an endoscopy and the Dr said I had one of the cleanest coles he's ever seen lol also, eczema is a reflection of bad gut health or that's what they say and I've used several types of creams and the best method of taking care of it is just gently rubbing it off in the shower every...

Yup! The last 12 or so years have Been an absolute blast. Not lol oh and I finally got around to testing my blood sugar levels today with a one touch ultra device. The thing is my sleeping cycle is off again where I'm falling asleep in the afternoon and waking up later in the day. Basically I...

Soo I picked up a metere, lancing and strips. I'm going to test myself Tues, Wed and Thursday morning after 8 hours of fasting to get a proper blood glucose reading. My A1C is already normal so if these readings come back normal as well I'm just going to get that lactulose and Manitol leaky gut...

Oh I've seen my share of endocrinologists especially during the beginning portion of this nightmare of a roller coster ride back in my early to mid 20's and all of them were left scratching their heads. One suspected a pituitary gland tumor based on my abnormal pituitary gland results, my...

The lancing, BG meter and strips in total would cost me around $100. And sorry I didn't quite catch that last bit? I'm actually not eating as if I have diabetes. I eat a lot of healthy carbs(non processed) And a good amount of healthy fats and protein. I'm currently not doing LCHF. If I have to...

So should I go to my doctor and get another blood panel(pain in the butt)and see where my levels are at again or should I just assume I don't have an issue with blood sugar problems or fall in line with prediabetes or diabetes based on my current results? I'm seconds away from ordering this...

Thanks for the response. Wellll, as far as symptoms go which have been going on for years and years would be awful insomnia(I have an easier time sleeping during the day unfortunately but even then its just ruthless. It's easily the worst symptom aside from losing a lot of muscle which has left...

..OR on the cusp of type 2 that is. Here are my results with the normal reference range on the far right in brackets. My glucose fasting is the only thing that came back abornmal BTW, yet my A1C is fine. Glucose Fasting - A 6.7 - (3.3 - 5.5) Hemoglobin A1C - 5.3 - (4.5 - 6.0) % Creatine - 74...
