Diabetes

I was prescribed Lisinopril in August 2011 to counter diabetes metformin side effects and to lower blood pressure. Thanks to this and other websites, have come to learn that the following side effects may be as a result of lisinopril: Lots of hair fell out, joint pain in my right wrist, pain in my neck and shoulders which has lasted for weeks; constant sinus drainage; rapid hearbeat for a few weeks; broke out in a hive on my face. As of this week, I’m no longer taking this medication.
Also, I’m currently changing lifestyle habits by exercising more and dietary changes of much more organic raw vegies (esp dark greens), whole nonglutton grains ie quinoa, etc. My blood sugar average dropped from 502 (16.5 AIC) to 145 (6.3 A1C) in four months. Goal: To be off of diabetes meds. via better lifestyle habits.
Also read on another website that this medication causes Diabetes Mellitus…yep!!! The very condition I had been trying to heal myself from, I’m given a pill which causes it. WOW (disbelief)…both pills given same day by same doctor. WOW…amazing…thank God for the Internet and other people sharing their experiences. THANKs TO you all.
