Amy over at Diabetes Mine mentioned a new blog started by The American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). I immediately subscribed to their feed (love my reader!) and can’t wait to see what it’s all about.
Amy also mentions the first post is about “Knowing Your Numbers“. I chuckled when I read the first post. Especially [...]
Since I’ve started taking the Lovastatin, I have been experiencing an uncomfortable side effect. I did not know this would be a side effect of this medication.
