[QUOTE="Kentoldlady1, post: 1582831, member: 414280"] Hello. I hope you have recovered from both the incident and the shock of diabetes and hypertension. There is a great deal you can do about both of these things and . Many of us on here have both. Deep breath, dont panic and start reading! It is the reading that will change your life. It has certainly changed mine. Read loads of threads on here and see how cholesterol does indeed come down on a lchf diet. However, the hf part does not mean chugging downs loads of lard, more like going back to the amount of fats commonly eaten pre war before the low fat diet was mistakenly launched. As to taking metformin interacting with a drug that has also been given to you. The same thing has happened to me. Neither of the gps I have seen even knew that my medications interacted. You will have to keep an eye on this yourself. My pharmacist did know about it and has been helpful. I have been amazed at how much our gps do not know. And even more amazed at thier reaction when I have said " no, thats not right" when they have tried to tell me something that is incorrect. An example would be when I informed then about the drug interaction. Both gps basically ignored what I said. Did not even acknowledge that I had said anything. They must really hate informed patients. Anyway, good luck with it all, keep reading, make your own mind up on which approach to take and test, test test!!! [/QUOTE]
