Help docs, is having more than 10 medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol considered normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Challenging : This is not unusual for a diabetic. Diabetes affects many parts of the body and controlling it is essential to prevent complications. Blood pressure and cholesterol are more challenging to treat in diabetics, and often require several meds. If your diabetes is related to weight, then weight loss, diet and exercise will help tremendously. Take control and you will see enormous benefits.
