No , that is how he described his off times when carbo-dopa was not giving him the same effect as when he took it. Plus, he had Covid a year ago and has not been the same since. We both say Parkinsons is a gift that keeps giving. He has more conditions than a person should have to deal with. He has a cardiac issue that was not there prior. Among other things. I am sure you were just asking about his sugar level..but needed to rant. No one deserves this . Parkinsons is also on my side of the family. My Dad and my brother.My Dad died in 2018 and my brother is in palletive care. I know this illness well and without it sounding ugly. I hate what it does to a person. No cure in site. I feel for everyone who gets this horrible diagnosis. 🫂 to all.

Please never feel the need to apologize for ranting, @sillyblone. Connect is a great place to vent and express frustration. I understand what you mean when you say, "Parkinsons is a gift that keeps giving." I really appreciate all of the experiences you have had with PD. You've had more family experiences than most people and I certainly respect your efforts to support your husband.

I also appreciate the explanation about how the "off times" are when he feels that he needs to eat. The off times do represent a time when you don't feel normal. Do the snacks tend to make him feel better? If so, in what ways? Does he have greater energy?
