Makes me very happy that I'm a Type 2 and have been able to control it with a low carb diet alone! Every time you turn around there is another product recall.

Kathy052, I'm glad now that I didn't get a Pacemaker/defibulator that my cardio suggested.
Fortunetly, new medications are helping. Hope your husband is doing well with his and they don't have to replace it.
