The following is a great success story by our newest registered user Pete. The following is an small excerpt:
My first symptom of diabetes occurred during the summer of 1995 and I remember telling the doctor during my physical exam that year of my enduring thirst. He asked me what I did about it and I said I drank a lot of water. His response – that’s good. That fall my doctor left the area and I went to see a new doctor in December to establish a new doctor/patient relationship. He asked me to have blood work done before my appointment. When I arrived at the appointed time, he looked at me, stuck out his hand and said “Welcome Mr. Diabetic to my practice!” I looked around to see if he was talking with someone else but he said “No I am talking to you. Your fasting blood sugar was 248”…
