What"s the best medicine for type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure?

Answer 1

Exercise and herbs.

I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

In a brief summary, here is the evidence.

Lifestyle - Changes such as exercise and the accompanying weight loss while see an improvement in blood pressure, and a reduction in insulin resistance (and thus improvement in your diabetes control).

In terms on Blood pressure and diabetes Medicines, there are multiple classes and it really depends upon your comorbidities.
As a general rule, diabetics are consider to be at high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (heart attacks, angina, strokes, etc) and as a result need to be treated intensively.
Classes of BP meds include
- ACE Inhibitors - Ramipril, Perindopril, etc (almost anything with pril on the end)
- Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
- Betablockers
- calcium channel blocker
- Thiazides

Studies have shown that for diabetics, ACE inhibitors or similar partners, the ATII receptor blockers should be used. These improve not only BP, but also renal disease associated with the diabetes.
The other medications, whilst good do not provide as much benefit.
There are of course contraindications (cough, bilateral renal artery stenosis) but such is the situation with any medicine.

In terms of DM meds. If insulin is NOT required. Metformin/Diaformin is a good start. It is good for the overweight and also is not associated with hypos. The sulphonylureas are also good, but hypos can be seen with them as the increase insulin production.

Overall, these should be discussed with a doctor though with advice based upon your own health history.
Major studies across the world all agree that intensive BP and BSL control is key to reducing vascular events, and progression of diabetic complications (eg nerve, kidney and visual changes).

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has NOTHING to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past.

It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

One other thing to keep in mind is that diet is a big factor in both high blood pressure and diabetes. Switching to a healthier diet may decrease your need for medications for both of these conditions. Here is a web page that can tell you more about it:
