Yeah that's what I posted. Ace inhibitors were designed for HTN and they work pretty well. I'm pretty sure they help prevent/delay/improve kidney disease in diabetics and can be used in lower doses than we use for HTN (assuming you don't have high blood pressure) effectively. Especially if you're starting to leak a little protein in your urine. I take one. The most common side effect is a nagging cough (about 10% of people). They're pretty safe.I am on Ramipril which helps with the filtration in the kidneys but its primary use is in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Here diabetics (esp Type 1's) often get meds like lisinopril or enalapril (which are commonly used for high BP) in low doses because they can help prevent the development if kidney disease which is pretty common in Type 1 diabetes. I was curious as to whether they do the same thing in the UK.
For sure they rx them if you are showing signs of kidney damage, but here they tend to use them in everybody, even Type 2's where I work. We hardly ever see Type 1's because you can't serve in the military with Type 1.I was prescribed Ramipril when I showed very early signs of kidney damage. I think they only prescribe them when they spot signs of damage though rather than just to everyone as a preventative measure
Sounds pretty fishy to me!I just read a trial of kidney patient trying to eat high quality fish oils ( 1,7 grams )every day compared to a group of kidney patients that had only olive oils daily in capsuels... it looks like the number of blood clothing goes down with around 70% in the group taking daily fish oil capsuels and this seems normally to be a fatal problem in kidney patients..
it was a danish trial...done on Aalborg hospital :http://videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed/fiskeolie-er-godt-nyrepatienter
done by 206 patients in a 2 years study... by My Svensson
well, they tried to prescribe and I tried them for a solid month but had the expected side effects
I heard that the Russians spread all those rumors. And Trump. Trump and the Russians colluding again, it never ends, right?If you research the side effects websites, especially those run by patients instead of pharmaceutical companies, you will see that ARBs initially seem ok but have increasing number of side effects the longer you are on them, one of which is that you can get a permanent form of diarrhea. I took them for 7 years and my progressing symptoms fit what other folks were saying and experiencing. Docs are so in love with ARBs that they will consistently try to get you to try yet another one just in case you have confused your symptoms. For this idiotic reason, even though I fit the progressive degeneration to be seen on the evil things, I have tried three different brands and types
I will not take one again ever, don;t care who makes it. Unacceptable risks
