Re: type 2 and atenolol

My blood pressure with 25mg atenolol was 135/85. When I switched to Altace, it dropped to 115/68. My doctor said that many professionals are beginning to think that 110 systolic may be a better goal.

Re: type 2 and atenolol

JacquelineL- Your #s are gorgeous! Obviously lower is better. It's just that the "guidelines" for diabetics are a little more flexible, since in general people with diabetes have a harder time achieving so-called "optimal" BP. In your case the ACE really did the trick! Plus! Congrats.
