Another light headed morning and another blood nose thats 5 in a week !!!

So I went back for my blood test results today .didn't learn much except I have diabetes don't have any blood problems no luekemia etc(which is great).My vitamind has gone from 32 to 60 so thats good.
This gp wanted nothing to do with my diabetes have to see his colleague .
And he wasn't certain about the light heads I had the last one yesterday .he wants me to check my blood next time and then make an appointment not sure its worth the effort he thinks it was the flu that I didnt have
But he did refer me to a diabetic specialist which is what I wanted he didn't really want to but I insisted .

Metformin May Be Key to Preventing Colorectal, Other Cancers:
The first human trial of metformin for precancerous colorectal lesions hints that the diabetes drug may be poised for a second incarnation – this time as a chemo-preventive agent for several cancers, including lung, colon, and prostate cancers, and even breast malignancies.
