I don't get it. So he wants to treat with drugs, but the drugs cause you muscle breakdown, right? Did he have a suggestion re a different type of drug?

Hi JD2020, I have been referred to a periodontist who uses a LANAP laser treatment. I see him in a few weeks. I have been researching this and it looks promising. I’m not sure if you have access to someone who can offer this. I’m driving 4 hours one way to see this periodontist. It’s worth the time...

She also finds that taking a Tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar with meals helps with her BG. I experimented w ACV for a short period of time and didn't see much difference.

I will watch for muscle soreness. I have a lot going on and don't know what is simply ok but not perfect and what is p...

I just realized that the numbers that I posted on 5/9 were from a CGM that I believe was not working properly, as explained in the post just above this one.

Are you still doing well on the Metformin? It is a pretty standard 1st T2D medication. In my case it caused muscle breakdown. You may want to have a Creatine Kinase test done to see if that is an issue for you. Hi! I had amazing results for the first day...and then much less dramatic results going ...
