Hi- sorry for late reply- no diabetes or sugar issues (I’ve had to monitor for suspected sugar issues- but sugar is fine- BUT- i don’t know what the diet did to me- it’s possible i guess)-

[[nor anything about symptoms while sitting.]]

no symptoms while sitting- just upon standing- and only for about 20 seconds or so

[[Doctor said it was orthostatic hypotension and did not seem particularly concerned as my heart and weight were not abnormal. I should just stand up slowly and give my heart a chance to pump blood into my head. No recommendaton of eating sugar.]]

I suspect that might be it-

Thank you for relating those things- I’m gettign cataracts too- so might start the D- but i get kidney stones easily- but heard that Vit k is needed with D to prevent stones- hopefully i can up my kidney function at least a little bit- it’s kinda nerve wracking being low 30’s- but my doc said folks can go decades with it in low numbers without failing or dialysis- hope she’s right-

My doctor has not expressed concern about my GFI rate, but has paid attention to it. I think it may be my avoiding water because of urinary issues, which are improving with certain supplements. For cataracts, I have been taking Lutien 30 mg morning and evening, Ataxantine 10 mg M&E, Zeaxanthin 4 mg M&E, and Bilberry when I can find it. Also sometimes Eyebright and Blueberry. Seventy % improvement over 2 to 3 years.
