I think you need to discuss increasing your Alacor pills with your doctor, to lower the pressure inside your kidneys. That's what the doctor did - but it weren't enought. I would also have to take another tablet called Centyl (kaliumklorid). Centyl is probably the trade mark in Danish. They consists of: - 25 mg Bendroflumethiazid - 573 mg Kalil chloridum Again I don't know the English word - but their function is to lower the pressure inside the kidneys (water driving) and are used in combination with the ACE tablets. Hmmm ... " Centyl " is not at RxList.com. All I could find is " calcium chloride " - an electrolyte solution. Why not suggest a beta blocker to your doctor, ? They have had a very positive effect on my bp, so they are working as they should. Alacor - blood pressure tablet (ACE - etc. ): breast pains dissapear but bp remains to high (doctors can't explain why the breast pains dissappear) >> If your blood was too thick (sticky platelets), and you have a thickened septum from years of hypertension, as I do, the ACE inhibitor helps " unstick " your blood, so it passes through your septum more easily. And your heart doesn't have to work so hard. Thank you. That's the kind of info I'm searching for - why didn't the doctor say anything about that - to busy Do you use the same unit of measure that we use in the U.S.? If so, you will want to struggle to get that number down below 6.0, if possible. Yes, it's the same measure (thought that you used above x 18 as a measure in the US) It is absolutely possible to achieve good control without drugs if your pancreas is still healthy enough and you reach your desired weight and remain physically active. It is inspiring to see the new determination evident in your recent posts! Susie (reaching over and removing the Banana Split Pie recipe from 's recipe box) I may never see it again. A terrible thought! (but weren't this recipee designed especially for diabetics?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Naomi -- It is MHO that you shouldn't feel badly about putting up the [banana split pie] recipe on the List. There are so many people here using so many variables of diet that I think you can let the individuals decide for themselves whether or not to try a certain recipe. We are responsible for ourselves. And we do need to use discretion based on our own circumstances. Please don't feel guilty. (I missed the recipe because I probably skimmed over it on account of the contents. -- Figured it was too carby for me. I belong to another Recipe List, and frequently pass over many recipes for this as well as other reasons.) ----------------------------------- At 10:11 PM 3/9/00 -0500, you wrote: > > >Naomi wrote: > ><< I would never have given the recipe if I had the slightest inkling that >it >would harm anyone.
