    A big thank you from a newbie

    As loss of memory was mentioned a couple of times in previous posts, I wonder if anyone can tell me whether, apart from statins which I do not take, there are other reasons such as high blood sugar for my recent complete forgetfulness. I have recently started Bydureon, in addition to Levemir 28...
