They had the same effect on me. I am now on Losartan- no problems. Your GP should have informed you that Lisinoprol could cause a cough. Mine did!

Good one Carol I agree :

Although I am no longer on medication as my Hb1ac has dropped to 5.7 (see my previous post) I get very annoyed when I see articles that state T2 is mainly due to obesity. Although I was never skinny, I am not, & have never been, obese. There must be other reasons people develope this condition.
