    Fallen off the wagon

    How did you feel physically ? I strayed once in my early days and immediately recognised that I didn't feel too good with raised glucose levels. This helps me with my control. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

    Simple. If you are going to diet and exercise and take the appropriate nutrients, then you won't need statins. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
