It is supposed to stay under 140 but that's not wild. You need to get

fasting glucose levels on him, and maybe have the joy of getting a

meter and testing him a lot for a few days.

ALA may improve them.

Perhaps. Mercury impairs glucose tolerance and lots of toxic adults

get reactive hypoglycemia or even frank type 2 diabetes, which goes

away if they detox properly.

Yes. That might elevate glucose, and would affect other endocrine
