I'm interested in trying to reduce cardiovascular events, or heart attack, for individuals. I've got a question for you today, though.
What I'd like to know is whether you're engaged in looking after your own health and do you know what your up-to-date sugar levels are?

Hi, my name's Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I'm the author of Know Your Real Risk of Heart Attack. Well, I've written this book to try and inform people about the information required to reduce their risk of a heart problem.
