I eat whatever I want (bad things) and my A1c is 5.7.

I did not know of the Alzheimer's connection, and as that runs in my family, that info alone may be enough to make me do what I know I need to do. Thanks for sharing this list!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176793604414392644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-48700694386273514142018-12-05T03:22:33.386-08:002018-12-05T03:22:33.386-08:00Oh, it's such a struggle.
