Suggest Treatment For High BP And Diabetes

Hi Dr. L K Shankdhar,

I came to know i am diabetic since last 1 year .. before that my reports were okay. Now i am 48 years old .. height 5.6 Fts .. weight 63.4 Kgs.

I had high blood pressure problems 3.5 years back(i was in a depression period those days) .. now since 1.5 years it is okay. I switch to whisky(previous i use to take rum) with water since 1.5 years .. I take 360 mls in a week. I quit smoking exactly 3 years back( since 14/02/2012)

My diabetics levels are around 220 after fasting & around 280 after meals.

Is whisky intake okay for me ?

Please reply ..

Thanks & regards,

Ravi Pillay

Hello Ravi

whiskey intake is not OK for you
since you are diabetic having high cholesterol and high blood pressure with previous history of smoking and presently alcohol you are at the high risk of heart attack

in my opinion you should visit a diabetologist for prescription of medicines for diabetes

continue with medicines for BP and high cholesterol

complete abstinence of alcohol is required in your case
Start with regular physical exercises and diet control of 1800 kcal

hope this answers your question
you can ask me a direst question I will happily answer you
wishing you good health
