I take high blood pressure medicine and I don't have it. It' protects your kidneys from the diabetes. Somehow it knows when not to lower your blood pressure. When you are on diabestes medicine, they don't take you off in one shot. You reduce and gradually eliminate, especially insuling.

I can't imagine jumping for that long, even at thatt slow of a pace. Seems to me they have done this where it speeds up as they go, but I think they were further into the program.

Ok, I really don't need to see her throw up every week. It's like the third week and it doesn't make me want to watch,

There are different kinds of high blood pressure medication though. I'm on one that is actually treating both my moderately high blood pressure and reducing the fluid in my legs. It can make my blood pressure too low though, and it's something I'll be monitoring closely when I go to Fitness Ridge in March.

My dad used to take about 10 different pills per day. Some of them would be stopped cold turkey once they were no longer needed. It really depends on the drug, what it's treating, and what the danger is of treating something that no longer exists.

I know you shouldn't stop taking antidepressants cold turkey.

Well, with diabetes, they usually reduce things slowly because so much can wing the sugar. I may have missed it but I thought I heard he was a diabetic.

Hi all! Just got in from the gym.

That was hilarious when he sent her over the stairs. I think he may be her new favorite.

You can reduce it. I hope to get off of mine. I was just on oral meds before the first incident in November and while it took them a bit to get it under control, I am frequently on the low side of normal now, so I'd like to go back to just oral meds. I really hate having to go back down and do the needle.

She should have lost more after her 2 lb loss last week. Usually you rebound after the dreaded second week.
