Hi,
I’m kinda new to this forums, made my account a few years ago but hardly on this site. So I’m 27 years old and I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since I was 10. I had an appointment with my diabetic nurse regarding my recent blood test, my Hbc1a was 5.9, however I got told that there was protein in my urine, cholesterol was slightly above the normal range and my blood pressure was 140/ 89. The nurse wants me to start taking blood pressure pills. I’m freaking out, my diet is good however there are a few things that I could cut out of my diet such as crisps, bread, pasta. I’m not going to lie even though my blood levels are really good most of the time, I still eat a lot of carbs. Is there anyone whos type 1 who’s currently taking pressure pills?
