I am type 2 and on just 1 x 500mg Metformin a day. A recent blood pressure check by a DN, after I walked about 400 yards after parking my car, & then standing for almost 10 minutes outside the surgery saw my blood pressure as slightly raised. Apparently a Diastolic reading of 90 is higher than they like for a Diabetic I’m now on 1 x 2.5mg Ramipril a day. Anyway, I recently had my bloods & urine checks & I checked the results on the NHS app. It’s scared the life out of me because it mentions things like acute kidney disease, kidney failure & a whole host of things I just don’t understand. It was like Googling a symptom. I have a BP recheck tomorrow as I started the Ramipril only 3-weeks ago and I think it’s time I started asking some serious questions as they don’t seem to be telling me a lot.
