I have Type 2 Diabetes and am currently taking Glyciphage SR 500 once daily. I am also taking Olmat-20 once daily, but my average blood pressure remains around 140/100 mmHg. What additional measures should I follow for better management?
In addition to your current medications, lifestyle modifications are crucial. Adopt a balanced, low-salt diet, engage in regular physical activity, maintain a healthy weight, and monitor blood sugar and blood pressure regularly. Limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, and managing stress can further improve outcomes. Your doctor may also consider adjusting the dosage or adding a second antihypertensive medication to achieve better blood pressure control.
