3. My dr said the only reason she prescribed them for me

was that I was diabetic and the pharma rep told her the protocol had changed and all diabetics needed to be on them.

I turned her down and have been watching my borderline numbers slowly come down with loss of weight and diet change. She said I would never get it as low as recommended for diabetics without the meds - 70 or lower. She might be right, but I’m trying and they’re moving in the right direction.
