About 2 weeks ago i consulted my doctor to assist me to loose weight since the programme i was using at the time (Herbal life) was not working anymore. He prescribed Duromine and also decided to test my blood for overactive thyroid and blood sugar level. It was then when he diagnosed me with prediabetes! The shock was too much, however i immediately started with my research and i know i can fight this, with people like you on my helping side, i will conquer this disease.
im a mother of 5 sons, 2 grandchildren and im fairly healthy by the Grace of God. I try to live my life to the fullest between work and personal life.
i sincerely appreciate the assistance and guidance you offering me, this is something new to me and all the help will be awesome.
kind regards and thank you once again!
