PD and diabetes
The following item appeared in the January 1996 posting of "Current Science Reviews": "Sandyk R: Int J Neur 1994;69:125-130 (from fall '95 APDA newsletter): 50% to 60% of PD patients have abnormal glucose tolerance (diabetes) which may be aggravated by levodopa therapy, and may reduce the efficacy of that therapy against PD symptoms. Author therefore recommends that PD patients should be routinely screened for glucose intolerance. (This also suggests that perhaps diabetes may predispose to PD- J.R.B.)" Since there have been so many recent postings here with questions about PD and diabetes, I'm worried that my stuff either isn't getting through, or isn't getting read. Any suggestions? Cheers, Joe J.
