[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2082656, member: 160246"] ianf0ster has identified a potential problem. Here in the US, physicians like Eric Westman, M.D., who have been using the low carb ketogenic diet to reverse diabetes for a decade or more, typically cuts the diabetes medications and anti-hypertension medications in half [I]prior to[/I] starting the diet. This however needs to be done on an individual basis, particularly in your father's case because of his other health issues. As your father continues on the diet, he needs to work with his doctor on a strategy to lower the medications as his glucose levels begin to come down because the diabetes medications can cause his glucose level to drop uncomfortably low, which is referred to as a hypo or hypoglycemic episode, and his anti-hypertension medication cam cause a dramatic drop in blood pressure. We don't want him to become light headed or dizzy and fall, or lose consciousness. [/QUOTE]
