My mom has high blood and cholesterol and she is taken stuff for them. But I hear people said, after a long period of taken all that Med. you can develope Diabetic. If this true? If yes are there way to help with this.
My take on this is, if you don't address the high blood pressure and the high cholesterol, then the odds of having a coronary are greater than developing diabetes.
In regards to diabetes, I believe heredity and weight contribute greatly to Type 2 diabetes – with weight being the bigger factor.
I would not stop the blood pressure or the cholesterol meds for fear of developing diabetes. The bp and cho are real while the diabetes is non-existent.
The general recommendation is maintain a healthy weight and exercise.
PS… reading some of the post. I do not recommends using herbal or "natural" remedies in lieu of pharmaceuticals. The benefits of prescription drugs have been tested and are known. The herbal and natural remedies have not been tested and the benefits (if any) have not been quantified. I personally believe the natural remedies are all witch doctor potions and marketing ploys.
