earlier this years mjf grant for a study of neuroprotective effects of an existing drug used for diabetes

http://www.primate.wisc.edu/wprc/diabetes.html

the press release implies a brand new use but now i wonder if the real effect is not countering harm from ldopa-induced fluctuations

if my experience is a guide, when one checks their blood sugar they are not going to get "high" readings as presently defined. what will be seen is a gradual climb that accelerates about the two hour mark to a peak and sudden drop back to the baseline. mine stay well within the "official" limits but my function goes all to hell with that climb then recovers post-plunge. brain fog and muscle weakness in my legs predominate during this yet are almost not present during simple "offs"

i may be wrong but i don't think that brain fog and muscle weakness were originally part of the symptoms of PD. anyone know when they were added?
