Welcome to the team Rich. I think me and you have that docter visit in common where we are told we are borderline diabetic. My blood pressure was normal the last time I went but my bad cholestrol was high and my good was low. Great to have you aboard.

Hello, I have been apart of SP for a while but recently got serious. My doctor told me to change my lifestyle or else I will have to start taking high blood pressure pills, and he also said that I'm an on the verge of being a diabetic. Diabetes run on both sides of my family and in fact my mother died from complications that go along with diabetes. I find that SP has a lot of interesting stuff and a lot of inspirational people.
