    Is a Keto diet harmful??

    Ive just been reading that it is not good to be on a keto diet for more than say 6 months or when you have lost the desired weight because it can actually harm you.

    Strips and lancets

    Hi Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap testing kit. The important part is the strips and lancets. My doctor didn’t give me a monitor kit so I bought my own.
