Now it is kower after two three weeks at 135 to 140 over 75 to 77. I have lost 40 pounds in two yeears and now at 180 lbs but I am only 5 7 I m 64 years old and work 40 hrs a week as an Inspector. I drive a mimimum of 4 to 6 hours a day. I am diabetic but only take metformin twice a day two 500 milligram tablets. Blood sugar averages 160. Are their other medications available to reduce my blood pressure and blood sugar? I m going to my primary next week, but, I want as much information as possible to understand what can be done safely. I have been under his care for 40 years and he is in his mid 70 s. I don t want to offend , but, he does not seem to want to make changes except lose more weight, eat healthy, and excersise more. Am I not being realistic in expecting more?
