Great News

Today all my exercises and careful diet paid off. Since my blood pressure has been very good for some months now, my diabetes team reduced my BP medication of LISINOPRIL from 40 mg to 5 mg. They are not taking me off this medication because it is still good for the kidneys. The team will be monitoring my blood pressure to ensure my current BP level stays on track. Thank you Dr Scolaro, Cathy Chute, and Lorraine Lick.
