My blood pressure is on the higher end of normal when I’m at the doctors office, and my Cholesterol is higher then what the doctor would like and the last two times I went she mentioned that both medications are “heart protective” for diabetics.
Twice now I have asked her even though for two years my A1C has been below 40 that is still necessary to “protect my heart”
She said that she couldn’t speak to the effectiveness of these medications with people who have brought their BG undercontrol. As it’s not something that is very common.
I wish doctors realize that there are those of us who research and try to find what is best for us.
Edit to add last paragraph
