-PUGNAc 5mg can be obtained from TRC,Toronto Research Chemicals for $125 -PUGNAc is a drug, acting as an inhibitor of glucosidase and so increasing insulin resistance. -PUGNAc was used by Michael Scofield in the television series Prison Break to keep his blood sugar level high, in order to appear both diabetic and to be resistant to insulin shots he was receiving butdid not need ______________-- Before he takes the Pugnac: Dr. Tancredi: Your blood glucose is at fifty milligrams per deciliter. Your body’s reacting to the insulin as though your not a diabetic. Are you sure it’s Type 1 Diabetes you got. Michael: Ever since I was a little kid. Dr. Tancredi: Alright. Not experiencing any tingling sensations, cold sweats? (Michael shakes his head and is saved by the phone. He gets and walks over to the barred window, looking outside. He notices his right hand is shaking and smoothes his left thumb over the palm. Dr. Tancredi gets off the phone.) I’d like to run some tests the next time your in. The last thing I want is to be administering insulin to a man who doesn’t. ____________________ Lincoln: What the hell’s a Pugnac? Michael: It lowers my insulin to the point where I’m hypoglycemic and as long as the good doctor thinks I’m diabetic I’ll have plenty of time in there to do what I need to do. ____ After he takes the Pugnac: Dr. Tancredi: It used to take hours, but we’ve come a long way with the new glucose kits. This’ll take us ten seconds. (Michael looks apprehensive) Slide this strips into the meter then we’re ready to go. I’m sure you know this but, the average glucose for a non- diabetic is about one hundred milligrams per deciliter. We see a number like that here and we know you’ve been misdiagnosed. Dr. Tancredi: Ah. Bad news I’m afraid. (She shows him the meter) one hundred and eighty milligrams per deciliter. You are definitely diabetic.
