Why is there a stock picture of someone who doesn't apparently know how to use a finger pricker? <sarcasm>Don't the Daily Mail know that type 2s don't need to test?!?</sarcasm>

Let's be honest it's the Daily Mail ....! I debated even posting it but thought we all needed a laugh after this week :)

Oh and sorry, but the research doesn't seem to include type 1s LOL

The idea in the article, that the viagra relaxes blood vessels is the rationale that my GP used with respect to a statin when discussing my cholesterol results. Which is why I'm still on a statin...

Viagra was developed as a blood pressure med but when they discovered the effect on men they followed the money.
