My dads got type 1 diabetes and is taking so many prescription meds that there is no way all those pills could be good for you. He is now taking

Atacand plus 16/12.5mg (Candesart/hct 16/12.5mg) 1 x 12.5mg/day for High Blood Pres.

Diamicron mr 30mg (Gliclazide mr 30mg) 4 x 30mg/day for his diabetes.

Metformin hcl 500mg 2 x 500mg/day for diabetes

Norvasc 10mg (Amlodipine Besylate 10mg)

Was wondering if anyone is going through the same thing and is trying something different to stay level without so many meds, or if they know of natural supps they could take to try and get the same results. I was told Hawthornberry could lower HBP. If anybody has any advice or have experience in using alternative meds any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello brother,
Realy very sorry to hear about your Dads got type 1 diabetes and is taking so many prescription meds. I would like to say you Weight reduction and exercise are important treatments for diabetes. Weight reduction and exercise increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, thus helping to control blood sugar elevations. For more, please read the Weight Loss and Fitness articles.
Thanks
