Damsel,

Please proceed with caution before changing any of your meds or
supplements. Bugs Bunny may mean well, but s/he is not your doctor.
They do not have your medical records in front of them and they do not
really know enough about you or the specifics of your condition to
prescribe treatment and drug dosing.

Yes s/he wrote long posts which appear brilliant and illuminating.
I'd strongly suggest you use the information as a guide in doing your
own research into the things mentioned. Many supplements will
interfere with the drugs you take and may cause more harm than good.
If you take some of this you may have to balance it with two of those
and the result may mean changing your med doses accordingly.

Next. Where the hell are the references to all the stuff Bugs had to
say? And finally. The fact that Bugs did not understand the
difference between grams of weight and grams of protein in a weighed
portion of protein gives me pause in regards to their understanding of
what they seem to be parroting from other sources.

But hey, what do I know?

Thank you, Lee. I'm so confused and frightened. I'm very frustrated that
my blood sugars, while lowered from earlier in this process, are still
unacceptably high by my standards. By my doctor's standards, they're
magnificent! :-( I believe that I need a medication change, but she
doesn't agree. I hate to be literally controlled by someone else because
we have different goals. Especially when I believe that my goals are more
beneficial than hers are.

I'm also frustrated about not being able to lose weight.

I'm hoping to hear from my doctor today regarding the blood tests that Bugs
suggested. I've decided not to alter anything until after we receive the
test results. I'm also going to make a list of the supplements that are
recommended by Dr. Bernstein.

Thanks for caring,
Carol
