I am taking Telsar 80 mg once daily for high blood pressure and Glycomet 500 mg twice daily for diabetes. Since my blood pressure is around 130/95 mmHg and my blood sugar levels are 110 mg/dL (fasting) and 180 mg/dL (post-meal), should any changes or adjustments be made to my current medications?
Your blood sugar levels are reasonably well-controlled, but your blood pressure of 130/95 mmHg is slightly elevated. For individuals with diabetes, the target blood pressure is typically below 130/80 mmHg, meaning your diastolic reading (95) is a bit high. Please do not worry, as these levels are not in an emergency range. However, you should consult your doctor soon. They may consider adjusting your blood pressure medication Telsar 80 mg (telmisartan) to better protect your heart and kidneys. Your diabetes medication Glycomet 500 mg (metformin) appears to be working well, but your doctor will review if any minor adjustments or lifestyle changes are needed. Do not alter your medication doses yourself.
