Re: Hello! New to the group

I am slowly improving things so I don’t get overwhelmed. I have started walking 1.5 miles most days, walking around my building at work twice a day, and generally moving more. I have a strength training program I will start soon. This is in addition to reducing my feeding window, and improving my d...

Re: Tramiprosate: a silver bullet for 4/4 carriers?

Is there any talk of doing a trial with pre-symptomatic 4/4s yet?

Re: Greetings from a 4/4 T1DM Apoe4 forum newbie!!

How far do you "diverge" in a normal day? If you were staying between 80-120, then that would be a good range. I also wouldn't complain too much about an A1c of 6%...possibly more important is how high your peaks go.

Re: Greetings from a 4/4 T1DM Apoe4 forum newbie!!

@mike, sounds like you are close to experiencing T1D. I use Jardiance/Empagliflozin, 15-18 units of insulin per day and my standard deviation is around 21. I eat about 60-80 g CHO per day. How much protein do you suggest? Yes, most Docs think I am, but insulin has not worked for me... The amount of...

Re: Hello! New to the group

Hi Mike, I just assumed I probably had it. Although, now that you are questioning me regarding it. I’m not 100%. I looked at my most recent labs, and compared them to Dr Bredesen’s labs regarding IR in his book. I only had one lab that was not within normal range and it wasn’t that far off. Do you ...

Re: Jim's Journey

I graduated high school 5'9" ~135 lbs and very fit. 34 years later, I am 5'10" ~135 and fit but lean. Same weight and same build, it sounds like, but now you say it is too lean? To bulk up a bit, you could do more weight lifting and a bit less cardio. Maybe 80/20 instead of 90/10? Add mor...

Re: Jim's Journey

Thank you! I mountain bike hard for an hour most days, hike regularly (and/or walk at least 12,500 steps per day), and now bench, squat, curl, etc. That should be more than plenty and a good mix. How much did you weigh when you graduated high school? Also a hint for this site - use the double quote...

Re: Finding a neurologist to help me understand my Neuroquant MRI

I recently had a Neuroquant MRI done which showed significant shrinkage of my brain. I don’t understand what this means for my future. I just found out about a year ago that I have 2 apoe4 genes. I am 65 and started having memory issues about 3-4 years ago. Since there is Alzheimer’s in my family, ...

Tom, and what are you - 3/4, 4/4, etc.? This will make a difference in how you may want to approach your AD prevention journey.

How do you know you have IR issues? Have you ever had your A1c tested? This is a critical area for AD.
