Diabetes

I think this is the worst-case scenario. Medicines normally tend to add new diseases. Once they give us a lot of medicines, the first fort to fall is our sugar levels. The ability to process the blood sugar goes downhill. Another issue is related to the kidney.

But normally diabetes causes a bigger problem. When sugar levels go up, all other medicines fail. Have you ever been in such a lock ?
 
I strongly suspect the statin medication they put me on caused me to develop type 2 diabetes. The first statin meds I took also caused terrible aches and pains as well as horrible muscle spasms in my legs. The diabetes meds I take cause weight gain, sinus problems and God knows what else. My blood pressure medication is probably contributing to many of my health issues as well. I never felt worse in my life than when doctors started prescribing these meds that I am now reliant on. I believe big pharma is using us as Guinea pigs with experimental drugs and making us drug dependent to keep themselves wealthy. Color me fed up!

Possible

It is normal to get induced conditions like Diabetes and Blood Pressure when we take medications for too long. Certain doctors, if you notice, will never talk about ending the consumption. If they are kind, they will keep us on mild medication. Most of them keep feeding as long as possible.

Some of them are friends with rehab suggest a few days, if they can manage. Sometimes they simply force it without any reason.
 
Possible? More than possible. And statins have and are doing so much damage. We need good cholesterol levels and for sure to feed the brain.

My glucose has been rising recently and I'm 83, and do not fast for lab work, and my doctor said good to get on Berberine, otc, and I'm taking it now for 4 months or so. Good insurance.
