| | | Saying Hello
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello.
Only found this site because I was writing out a repeat prescription and couldn't remember how to spell simvastatin...lol.
It could be just what I need.
I've been diagnosed type 2 for just under 2 years, first year it was diet controlled, but then onto the pills. (I had all the sympoms for years but doc never put 2 and 2 together.
I'm sure I will get a lot of help on here, I just looked at a few of the threads.
Well don't want to say too much and bore you all, but I'm here and hope to join in more as time goes on.
Regards, Nadine |
