Hi all,
During tests this year I found the possible reason why low carb, although solving my RH problems, has not put me out of the prediabetic range.
Suppression of ACTH from the Pituatory does not collapse my cortisol, so the adrenal tumour producing massive amounts of aldosterone also produces some endogenous cortisol.
Hence I may have to take some Metformin to counteract this problem.
Interesting!
My dexa test was ok.

Now 80 so I can't grumble!
