It has been available here as a dietary supplement, but it is now moving forward as a food addi… Continue

What I discovered this morning, when I had a real attack, is that the BG goes up at the time of the attack! So last week, when I felt dizzy and measured m… Continue

She is tired all the time, cranky, ornery, mean spirited and frankly a b**ch. Yet, today, she asked me to go with her for her appointment. She needs someone who know… Continue
