A member asked:
Vegetarian high protein diet for tuberculosis and my sugar is on borderline and having high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Choose your options: Talk with your physician about whether being a vegetarian is the best choice for someone as seriously sick as yourself, and whether perhaps you might at least take dairy / whey protein and/or eggs. Being a diabetic itself presents challenges; salt restriction may be necessary for managing hypertension; be sure to comply with your TB meds. Good luck.
