Doreen...Ruth..anyone!!

I checked DH's meds today and I was wrong. He does NOT take glucophage any more...he is on "Glucotrol XL" 10mg 2X. In addition, he takes Actos 45mg 1X. Does anyone know if LCing is affected by these drugs??

Also, for BP, he takes Metoprolol 50mg 2X and Cozaar 50mg 2X. I went to the PDR and tried to read up on these drugs...but its all "greek" to me. One of them had something to do with potassium, so should he NOT take a supplement while on these.

He just had a complete work-up 2 weeks ago, so he would like to complete Week 3 of LCing before going back. (Hoping for substantial improvement). I know these are all questions that should be direct to his dr (and will be)...but I'd like to be a little better informed next time.

I don't know if its possible after only 2 full days of LCing, but his blood sugar tonight was 124!! This is the first I've seen it under 180 in 10 years! I'm in the middle of reading Dr. Bernsteins book and it appears around 105 is the # to shoot for. Is this correct or do I need to keep reading ???? Funny, 10 years of Type II and no one has ever told us what the #s should be....only that it should be under 200.

You guys are all awesome....Thanks for all the help

Deb
