I am sorry you disagree, but I am only going by what I have researched
for months and months on end AND what I have been told by seven
endocrinologists who couldn't understand why I had low blood sugar and
insulin resistance of 38... many things on here are posted WITHOUT fact
and I will never post anything unless I have seen medical research. I
am here to help people not hinder...we all are going through the same
thing and I refuse to get into a silly squabble about this...
God Bless
Grace
Are there any actual Doctors that give information here? I am an RN and
am just wondering if anyone else here may be too????
