Glucose level a proxy for sirolimus level?
Some have suggested a blood test is needed to measure rapamycin levels. I wonder if glucose levels can serve as a proxy for sirolimus?
my fasting blood sugar is normally in the high 70’s. For several days after taking a 5 mg one time dose (I’m 60 kg) it jumps to the high 90’s. On the 6th and 7th day it is back to the high 70’s. Been taking the 5 mg weekly for 2 months now.
anyone else notice a similar pattern?

Do we know enough about how Rapamycin woks that levels matter? Are you ensuring that levels go to zero?

Karl Karl, I didn't understand what you wrote... Is Paul Beauchemin ensuring that WHAT goes to zero? As I read what he wrote, he says his fasting blood glucose level goes UP to the high 90's when he takes a dose of 5 mgs. per week, then it goes back down to 70. In answer to Paul: I don't see a problem with high 70's, and it is a bit curious that it goes to high 90's when you take rapamycin, but I wouldn't worry about it. High 90's is nothing to worry about.
And "no" glucose levels should not serve as a proxy for sirolimus level. Only "sirolimus level" gives a correct reading of sirolimus level.

Ellis Toussier I was wondering if he knows if his Rapamycin levels went to zero.

Do you also take metformin as well? How much?
