I have high blood sugar and high blood pressure, and I am currently taking Novomix 30 insulin. What medicines should I take to better control my conditions?
Managing both high blood sugar and blood pressure requires a personalised plan. Since you are on NovoMix 30, adding oral medications like Metformin or SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., Jardiance) can improve blood sugar control and offer cardiorenal benefits. For high blood pressure, ACE inhibitors (like Lisinopril) or ARBs (like Losartan) are typically preferred because they protect your kidneys, which is crucial for diabetic patients. However, medication adjustments require a physical evaluation and lab tests (like HbA1c and kidney function). Please consult your prescribing doctor or endocrinologist to safely discuss and update your treatment plan.
