Such results were witnessed in as little as two months. He also noted that diabetics in the early stages of the disease can prevent such complications from ever occurring by supplementing with pine bark extract."

She is a slim, fit mid 50's with a good diet and doesn't have high blood pressure. She does have some thyroid problems but to my knowledge that is her only health issue. She is going in for blood testing but is really worried about this so I thought I would broach the group and ask if anyone had any answers. I don't remember reading about this anywhere. Dianne
