Default Dyskinesia

Hi Rosebud,
Thanks a lot for your info. I had no idea that high glucose levels had such an effect on dyskinesia, despite the amount of reading I do on PD.
I am also on a 2 hour schedule, taking 50 mg levodopa every 2 hours for 12 hours from 8-00am to 8.00pm.
However, as regards glucose, I take 2 spoons of sugar in a cup of tea, put a spoonful over my cornflakes, snack all day long on cakes and chocolate biscuits, and eat several Mars bars and chocolate bars in the evening, washed down with a pint of beer! My weight? 126 pounds, the same as it has been since I was in my teens. In fact I have developed into eating so much sweet things in order to try and gain weight, but it is impossible.
Best wishes
Ron
