Do you take cholesterol lowering statins?
Statins increase insulin resistance, which may be the mechanism through which they increase diabetes risk. Here is the study in PubMed: Effects of statin therapy on glycemic control and insulin resistance: A systematic review and meta-analysis – PubMed (nih.gov)
It’s amazing all the garbage and claims that are allowed to flood our food and markets:
You get all of that, and a special dose of added sugar, modified food starch, yellow 5, and blue 1 
This is marketed by athletes, sold to children, and unknowing people who think they’re doing good for themselves.
Such a shame

There is no better time than now to make your health a priority. There is no shortcut to improving your health. No medication or surgery will fix or change your health, they will mask your symptoms and cause more damage long term with side effects. Cholesterol lowering statins have been pushed onto the public without educating the public on the real causes of atherosclerosis, stroke and heart attacks. Cholesterol has been given a bad name as Big Pharma makes big money off of it. Your body actually needs cholesterol for many functions.
Now go out there and enjoy the 4th of July!
