I thought I would ask what you people would do in this situation.I went for my normal checkup with my DN to discuss my last blood test.My Hba1c was 5.9,which was the same as the previous one.All other test results were fine and she seemed very pleased.My weight continues to fall slowly,lost 3 stone since first diagnosed T2,so she was pleased with that also.She then checked my BP,which was up from the last time ,when it was 140/80,which I believe is'nt far off normal.Taking into account that in the last 6 months my wife has had a serious accident and is still receiving treatment,my son is on his 3rd tour of Iraq,and I was told the day before that I'm being made redundant in the new year.It is a wonder my BP did'nt blow the meter.She marched off to the doctor and came back with a script for Ramipril capsules,saying take these.Checking on Google indicates that there can be some horrible side effects with this medication.I am reluctant to start taking them until I have a chat with the doctor as I feel the raised BP is due to whats happening in my life just now.Has anyone been prescribed this treatment,and if so did you have any side effects? I have never been a pill popper of any sort and feel that once you start they won't let you stop.
