Got Salsa's blood work from last week back. Case history is up-to-date. Hay is balanced by Dr Kellon (and I took her class this year to learn that myself too). You think you're doing at least "ok"

It only says if you do fast the upper limit of normal needs to change. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

The point of the article is that fasting "normal limits" are too high. If you apply their recommendations, her fasting insulins were above normal. Post meal insulin depends on the composition (sugar

Thanks to Kirsten, I now know I was missing the detail that it was Invokana being discussed, not Pergolide. That's why Pergolide didn't come up under Global Drugs . Details. I don't know about Island

im unsure i understand the takeaway here? We currently do not fast for insulin. does this study suggest a change to fasting insulin? -- LJ Friedman Nov 2014 Vista, Northern San Diego, CA Jesse

Very Interesting document. A question: Jewels fasting insulin and glucose were within normal limits 2 years ago, every time now she is tested her glucose is less than 6 but insulin is greater than

Soaking does not remove all the calories, but it does reduce them a bit. One of our members did a back of the envelope calculation and figured if 30% of the sugars were lost to soaking for a 7% ESC

One thing you have also accomplished is to pave the pathway for the rest of us. Because you and Jody discussed Cabergoline many times on this platform I had an alternative drug ready to go when Red

Hello Renee When my little mare was first diagnosed I agreed to shoes although my horses have been barefoot for a long time. We had to find a farrier that was skilled enough to put them on. As

That's right, It might not have been very high, but you just don't know for sure. :) -- Kirsten and Shaku (IR) - 2019 Kitimat, BC, Canada ECIR Group Moderator Shaku's Case History Shaku's Photo

Thank you for your replies. The hay analysis that I had done was over a year ago. That hay is long gone and I don’t know what the analysis of the hay that I’m currently feeding is which is why we

Thank you for the info & replies. I thought I had the hay analysis on my phone but I don’t. I can see from emailing one of the ECIR hay balancers that it was done a year ago. So even if I find it, I

This is the abstract from the recent study on fasting insulin showing the cutoff of 20 uIU for normal was way too high: Comparison of fasted basal insulin with the combined glucose-insulin test in

thanks,Kirsten, I'm a little confused- if he wasn't fasted, who knows how high it would have been at baseline? He was fasted, so I understand that it should have been a bit lower in that case- do you

Thank you for the correction. I was unsure my months for correct but of course we have to test before the rise , ie test in September why july and sept? -- LJ Friedman Nov 2014 Vista, Northern
