A member asked:

Can any doc explain if we need to take the medicines of diabetes even after our blood pressure is balanced?

Dr. Bennett Werner answered

Non sequitur: If your blood pressure is perfect, you still need to have your blood sugar controlled (the essential lab abnormality in diabetes).
