[Diabetes-talk] Any suggestions???

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi,
I think that stuff is awful. I am glad you are getting this done though because I watched my friend suffer and die from Colon Cancer. She waited too long and didn't follow doctor's orders.
If you get tested and do things early you will be thankful if they find anything and can treat it.
If in doubt, check with your doctor.
Colleen Roth
