Decided to get a Couple Tests

Nov 18

I paid for a CMP and insulin test. The draw was yesterday afternoon. Everything was normal except blood sugar was 144 and insulin was 27 and BUN was 29. I've never had a blood sugar above 120 or so, my system is just too reactive. The insulin is also high, possibly indicating Type II diabetes. The BUN being high is obviously my kidneys crying out for help due to the specific gravity of my typical output. I don't exactly understand how the ONE UA they did while I was in the hospital had a specific gravity so low (1.015), but I usually only get that when then bad polyuria as I can tell DKA is hitting a new target in my body. I guess it would've been my gut.

So, that's another symptom of APECED. I can understand the similarities, now we really only need the ectodermal candidiasis to show up, but the pathogenesis is completely different. It would be like saying a flat tire from a blowout and a flat tire from a slow valve leak are the same thing. KINDA? Sure the tire is flat, but how it got there was totally different. So, if the condition was reclassified as the article said it might/would be (I honestly don't recall if it said it would definitely be reclassified), that basically just whisked all the difference in the pathogenesis under the rug.

Output yesterday was almost nothing. But, getting some today, so far. Specific gravity 1.1+ as usual.

Going back to the article, there were even more things that made me think that whoever wrote the article had seen a recent or more or had researched them. It was certainly written in the 90's. It referenced modern drugs, modern test methods, modern chemistry panels, modern technologies, and even yet-to-be-released drug categories. So, this person was very informed in the area.

Can you imagine how ground-breaking it would be to say that a condition exists in which the ATP to the body would be supplied through something OTHER than the Krebs cycle? The article specifically went into how this was done via candidiasis.

Once again, for review - if you think this is all ridiculous, I wish it was.
