Whether To Take Statins
I am T2 and also have high cholesterol. I am TERRIFIED of taking statins which cause debilitating muscle pains. I understand if I don't take them I will continue to be at risk for heart disease. I just don't understand how people can live and work under such pain. I am barely adjusting to diabetes let alone a statin. Anybody have advice? I'm supposed to go on Crestor and have read horrifying things about it. I've talked to friends who also have had terrible times on statins. What are my options… read more
My "struggles' are so minor that I do not even consider them to be a struggle. But thank you for the kind words.🙂

Do We Need To Manage Our Expectations When Living With Diabetes?

The day we get our Diagnosis our Life changes Forever.

Whether we choose to ignore it, jump right in with both feet or settle somewhere in the middle Diabetes will be with us for the rest of our days… read more

What This Site Considers Spam
OK I find this strange. How come when I want to give advice to people and use several of my own pre written information I put in my computer on my spreadsheet that I created, this site only lets me post them once a day, then let me know I already wrote something similar and it is considered spam. Yet someone who just joined for the past 2 days can advertise to people 1 by one with exact same phrases something they are wanting to buy and / or distribute, yet that is not considered spam. I have… read more
