Hello Miss @amy-goodrich
I'm sorry about the situation and wish for the best. It surprises me that doctors lied to you specially if you were trying to help your friend. I ask for forgiveness in the name of medicine, only a few in the medical community behaves like that.
Seeing your blog I can know you are into a healthy lifestyle. I would apreciate a lot if you support my project in my blog, its about reversing diabetes and insulin resistance with a different method other than medical treatment. I will follow and upvote. Thanks :)
