More than 30M Americans have some stage of kidney disease, making it the 9th leading cause of death in the U.S. We can – and MUST – do more. Glad that

I just got blood work done and found out my glucose is at pre-diabetes level, which is nuts because I don't eat sugar, bread, pasta, and am on the low FODMAP diet. My vitamin D level is low. Also, my ANA is abnormal, yet my doctors can't figure out what's wrong. !!! Lyme wrecked

I could. I'm an inadequately treated EDS and chronic pain patient. Uncontrolled pain raises the blood sugar. Perhaps treating the cause of the higher blood sugar would reduce my risks? You can help. I've been a patient at WRNMMC for 12 years.
