[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2523587, member: 196898"] I am surprised you were given Ezetimibe as a BP med. Studies on that drug show that neither blood sugar nor BP are affected by this med. It is an alternative to statins in that it lowers LDL cholesterol. I have just stopped it since I found it was giving me unpleasant side effects, May I suggest you check this out since it is not as benign as it had seemed when the GP prescribed it. The Ramipril is probably to protect the kidneys. Diabetics are encouraged to seek lower BP targets than non diabetics but the figures quoted in the OP seeem to be in that target range certainly from the daily log. But as has been said, white coat syndrome is real. I suffer it and I am also allergic to machines, so I get my GP to do a manual reading instead. It is always lower than the machine. [/QUOTE]
