<br>Alpha lipoic acid is an ingredient in some natural health products and is used as an antioxidant for the maintenance of good health and/or to promote the healthy breakdown of glucose. Health Canada carried out a safety review with case reports of hypoglycemic episodes linked with the use of alpha lipoic acid that were published in the scientific literature. Health Canada's review concluded that alpha lipoic acid may cause a condition known as IAS (insulin autoimmune syndrome), which can result in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in individuals with a specific genetic variation. The cases of hypoglycemia resolved once the alpha lipoic acid was stopped. Health Canada is therefore considering updates to the labelling standard for alpha lipoic acid to [inform consumers](https://www.blogher.com/?s=inform%20consumers) to stop using it and consult a healthcare professional if they experience symptoms of low [GlycoMode blood sugar formula](http://forumaixois.free.fr/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=RogerCastr) sugar such as sweating, paleness, chills, headache, dizziness and/or confusion. In addition, Health Canada will publish a Health Product InfoWatch article to raise awareness of this potential risk.<br>

<br>Mood:must go to bed. Left Masterton around 11.30am as we had heard there were roadworks just south of the Twin Bridges at the bottom of the Rimutaka Hill Road, however there was hardly any delay there at all. The new road on the Kaitokes is progressing well. There doesn't look to be much to go now and I would say we will shortly be driving the cutting in the hill. During Robyn's daily radiation trips, we watched the hill be "downsized". Arrived at the Wellington Cancer Society carpark in good time. We were surprised to see the new building development at Wellington Hospital - across the road from where we parked. It is still in the tear down stage and the rooms we used to visit are now being torn down. After getting a chest x-ray done, we had our first visit to the recently opened Cancer Outpatient Department. That has been the first part of the new hospital to be built and the rest of the new hospital will be built around it.<br>

<br>Robyn saw Dr Douglas Iupati. He said that Robyn's chest X-Ray looked good. Once again he did not have Robyn's blood results. She had those done last week at Masterton Hospital. We are not sure which hospital is at fault. Might need to check that one out. He had to ring for them and said that they looked fine. Robyn's legs are still itching and she is scratching them until they bleed. She has a few on her arms too. Robyn said that it is most irritating at night. Her legs get hot, then they itch. Douglas said it was unusual but none of us feel it is related to any cancer activity. However, to rule out that possibility, he has ordered Robyn a CT scan (chest and abdomen) to be done by the end of the month. He also mentioned that it might be wise to repeat the bone marrow test. I think Robyn is OK about having the CT scan (it is a year since she had one), but I don't believe she will go through another bone marrow test at this stage.<br>

<br>Robyn is going to try and tackle the itchiness with some creme she has been prescribed by her GP and also use some medicine that must act like an antihistamine. She also will catch up with her GP next week. So that's where things are at the moment. Comments: Read 3 orAdd Your Own. Robyn and I are heading down to Wellington on Tuesday 8 November after lunch. She has a chest x-ray and regular 3 monthly check up. She got her bloods done last week. I bet when we ask for the blood results that they will have to go searching and even ring through to Masterton ! They never seem to make it into her patient chart. I believe that Robyn's only concern at this stage is her weight, which has increased. We are both looking forward to seeing what progress has been made with the Kaitoke roadworks.<br>
