can this happen?

[Guest guest]

Can a person who has type 2 and is on 2 different kinds of medications,

work hard and finally be able to stop taking the meds (with doctor ok)

and life a " normal " life? Can this happen with high blood pressure too?

Hi Darrell,

I was on meds for diabetes and 2 meds for blood pressure. I lost weight,

changed my eating habits to sensible eating and I've been off meds for diabetes

and blood pressure since 2001.

Anything can happen. Depends on why you developed the diabetes in the first

place, what your other health issues are, etc. Two people can be the same

weight and eat the same diet... one has diabetes, the other doesn't. So

along the way there is also part of this disease that is unique to your own

body. Just keep that in mind, if you obtain a perfect body weight and

excellent diet and still have to take medications to maintain your blood

pressure and diabetes. You will still be much healthier than before, even

if you still need to help your body along with the meds. It doesn't mean

failure... that's just how things are. I'm simply mentioning this so you

don't get discouraged if things don't change as you would like in seeking

your 'normal' life. It could just be that this is 'normal' for you.
