hello. i have a friend who is a 50 year old woman with type two diabetes and high blood pressure... her medication too makes her sick (glucophage).. along with that her doctor prescibed a blood presure medication that is not supposed to be taken with glucophage. (in fact my uncles father died because of taking the two) anyways so i told her about the combination of the drugs one day when she was telling me how she thinks her medicine makes her sick. soon after she stopped taking her glucophage and soon after began taking an herb..gymnema sylvestre .. with watching her sugar intake she has been able to control her diabetes without any problems.. i will also put ya on our prayer list.
