Hi guys,

Recently, I have been losing quite well and I finally starting to loser my insulin usage. But I also take Diovan and Hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressure. I have had many dizzy episodes and light headedness in the past few days. I do have a home monitor and las night had one really weird reading of something like 65/33, but when I took it again in was 113/65.

What were your symptoms when you realized you had to lower your meds? Did you call your doctor about it?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Susan

Yes, my internist lowered my BP meds accordingly. Keeping him informed has helped with a tight control of coming off the handful of meds I was on preOp.

And the dreadful 100 units Humulin BID(!)(!!!) after 15 years injecting was such a relief to come to ONLY orals!!!

PS: I have been asked to let you know it is not necessary to post duplicates in multiple forums.
