Prediabetes
I've been hovering on the edge of prediabetes for almost 5 years and now it's finally happened.

[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1601828, member: 114214"] Yes definitely. I researched possible side effects of the various meds beforehand, thankfully. Dr said he wanted me to go on to Amlodipine [a calcium channel blocker] which is a first line for the over 50's I believe and luckily I knew about the grapefruit so asked for another. Went initially on Ramipril [ACE] but that gave me the nasty cough so I take Losartan which works and is fine with grapefruit. Also when they lowered the threshold for statin intervention from 20% Qrisk to 10% I was offered one and refused it for the same reason. I asked the dr if she would take one given my [then] state of health and she said NO. She might say differently now though and I suppose the risk will have risen a little. [/QUOTE]
