No diabetes - statins - diabetes.

Statins drive up your sugar levels, regardless of what the doctor tells you.

I've also discovered, through experimentation, that reasonable exercise and proper diet do WAY more to correct these problems than the drugs do. Unfortunately, I'm a lazy man and I'm not very good at maintaining a consistent exercise regimen.......
Don't fuck around with diabetes Dave.

I take the medicine and still don't do what I'm supposed too, but trust me it is a killer.

I can't wait to retire and if it weren't for the fact that I'm not old enough for Medicare ....I would retire today.
Barbara they had Florence on Lovenox (inject-able blood thinner) to avoid blood clots - bloody expensive though.

Me doc says I am a survivor, Mum and older sister both made 90, maternal grandparents made it into their 90s, so I am probably stuck here for another five years but I would rather be with Florence.
