I posted a couple of months back complaining that my MD prescribed hctz for my bp and it caused my glucose & cholesterol to rise. Well, my endo, cardio and gp refused to stop the hctz so as i stated in my post, i lowered the dose of hctz for 3 months. I had my lipid panel and a1c test done 10/8 and recently discovered that my glucose a1c has dropped to 7.5, it had been 8.5. My cholesterol dropped from 298 to 243.
I know its dangerouse messing around with meds, but not one of these professionals would acknowledge my problem was the meds.
I took MaryFrances advise and had a heart to heart with my MD. I explained to him that i was sticking to my diet and exercise regimen. He still would not refer me to a cardio. I finally called my ins. co and endo gave a referral. My cardio took said i did the right thing bcuz the thiazide caused me great problems. I was on other bp meds that controlled my bp.
