    Lactic acid values

    Last encyclopedic blood test at walk-in ER for severe weakness, withdrawing from divalproex, 6 months of immobility reduced or stop advice from ER dr. It has been a month now withdrawing, very slow, and I suspect that was the cause of that. in --mmol/L Normal 0.36-6 mmol/1...

    Hypoglycemia and anxiety

    I've always doubted the benefit of that; my Oxford Doctor's Guide to Diabetes, recommends low carb, but not VERY low carb.

    Hypoglycemia and anxiety

    I, too have had trouble keeping a smooth balance of the bg. It can go up and down as if my metabolism has changed. That too is recent.

    Hypoglycemia and anxiety

    I am in a similar situation. Thanks for the feedback. What is a VLC diet? I am mostly vegetarian now except for fish.

    Hypoglycemia and anxiety

    I don't know Ellie. It could be other factors; it may be a mistake to associate one incidental cause (new med) with another, e.g. withdrawal from something like a different type of diabetes via lithium insipidus?. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to compare. But thank...

    Hypoglycemia and anxiety

    I am guessing that it is the insulin dose. But, the insulin dose may cause hypoglycemia. My meter numbers do not show low numbers though on average (nothing lower than 5ish). Nonetheless, if the insulin is higher, AND the number is lower, anxiety and tremor increase. I seem more comfortable...

    Recent hypoglycemia reaction

    Thank you. I don't pretend to know all physiological circumstances from one person to another. I have seen quite a few articles in my search (just recently one from Italy IC research on epileptics at therapeutic level) confirming this guess.

    Recent hypoglycemia reaction

    Well, the reason is that this 44 to 12 approx. insulin only became necessary on the initiation of the drug, and the other details I gave about the blurbs, and the FDA clinical trials. There are other devastating symptoms with this drug, unrelated to blood sugars; also a resident dr. asked me if...

    Recent hypoglycemia reaction

    Hi folks, I have been having hypoglycemia recently (6 months) at the onset of a new med prescription. I have had to reduce my insulin units from 44 to at least 12 so as to maintain a "normo" blood sugar. Anxiety and tremor are associated with this change and night sweats. I am pretty sure it...

    How many times does everyone check their glucose levels every day?

    I check it in the morning after waking up to prevent eating too much; before lunch or brunch, once or twice in the afternoon, before supper, after supper, and before going to bed. I may vary according to how I feel and circumstances of the day which may be unusual; so about 7-8 times. I use a...

    Unpredictable insulin action

    Recently (approx. a few months or so) I have been having hypoglycemic numbers, and reducing my insulin dose and glyclazide and Metformin. My insulin is Humalin N. I have seen some other complaints about this, and I am wondering if there may be a change in the insulin preparation that the FDA...
