10mg Ramipril and 20mg Simvastatin
Hi all, I am a newbie who doesn't seem to know what he is doing. When I was told I had Type 2 diabetes it somehow did not sink in that I had a serious problem because I did absolutely nothing. I was under the impression that as I am prescribed medication that should sort everything out. How naive can one be?
It was only when I inherited a six month puppy that I started exercising by taking him for his morning daily walks. Walks would normally be for half hour covering approximately one mile. When the dog was about one year old the walks extended to approx. two miles taking approx 45mins and, it will be twice daily.
You will note that I stopped my twice daily medication of Glicizide without consulting the doctor and she was horrified. I did it because I was suffering frequent hypos after my walks and the readings were always in the low 3s and once came down to 2.7 which scared the hell of me. I have also not been happy having to take two different medication for my blood pressure so yet again I decided to stop them as it seemed excessive. Fortunately the doctor is now happy to only prescribe 10mg Ramipril for my BP. I am also presently looking into whether I can come off my Simvastatin and any advise will be appreciated.
Besides having to live with diabetes I also suffer from other ailments and it was my arthritic knee that was giving me most pain that prompted me to try administering cannabis oil to relief the pain and aid walking. The unintended consequences of that action would appear to be that my Hba1c was lowered. I do apologise most profusely for corrupting the Hba1c data by stopping my Glicizide tablets and starting my oil so close to each other. Let me state that I was not attempting to conduct an experiment or any research into the efficacy of cannabis oil on diabetes. I was merely treating a pain and it has now given me a dilemma as to what to do going forward. I have already cut my dosage of oil by half and it is my intention to completely stop taking it so that I may evaluate my condition further. Obviously, I will be more conscious of what I eat and I think it might be easier for me to just cut some carbs and simvastatin to see what happens.
By the way, I am not under any diet and basically eat nearly everything that is given to me. In fact I have been very naughty over the last three months. Because of earlier encouraging results, I thought I would take the risk and increase my consumption of snacks, which included lots and lots of crisps,chocolates,biscuits and my favourite cashew nuts. Maybe that might explain the minuscule one point fall in the latest result. Back to the drawing board to analyse those figures. All these data now seem to throw up more questions than answers for me, and I hope some of the members can interpret the data better. Looks like much more research required.
