What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Cosumne Jan Apr 15, 2012. 8 Replies 0 Likes
Hi everyone, I've been to see my Endo today and I had to admit to him that I've been slack in taking my ace inhibitor (or NOT taking as the case may be!)So he wrote me a new prescription for…Continue

Hey everyone, I'm on Lantus and Humalog MDIs, and things were ok but in the last month they are getting crappy. I'm after help and suggestions on what's causing the massive peaks and lows I'm…Continue

Kaitake replied to Kaitake's discussion 'IVF drug protocols? How do they affect blood sugars?' in the group Dealing with Infertility"Thanks Lori! That is a wonderful amount of info for me to get started with :) Yes, it does seem like T1 + IVF is a VERY small group indeed! I'm not so worried about the 18 month wait, as we've already been waiting upwards of 6 years to…"
Lori replied to Kaitake's discussion 'IVF drug protocols? How do they affect blood sugars?' in the group Dealing with Infertility"Hi Kaitake,
Congrats on qualifying for funding and making it to the waiting list! 18 months is a long wait, but it gives you lots of time to prepare and find answers to any questions you may have.
When I did IVF/ICSI, we did the "short"…"

IVF drug protocols? How do they affect blood sugars?
Hi everyone,I'm in NZ and my husband and I have finally qualified for public funding so we will be doing sperm retrieval in about 6 months, and IVF/ICSI in about 18 months time. Hooray to finally being on the waiting list!My question to you is about IVF drug protocols: When we spoke to the reproductive endo she mentioned that she might put us on either a 4 week protocol or an 8 week protocol. Then the IVF-nurse thought it might be better to put me on the shorter protocol because it may make my…See More
Cosumne Jan replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"I have autonomic neuropathy with orthostatic hypotension. My clueless doctor gave me Lisinopril when I was first diagnosed, "because if you're diabetic, you have to take it," and it practically killed me. With even 1/4 of a pill, my…"
Spock replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"Lisinopril caused life threatening problems for me (swelling of the throat and tongue.Emergency room. Hospital. NOT fun.) I switched to Diovan and have no reactions to it and blood pressure is good, although that was never an issue. Check out…"
Kaitake replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"Thanks Melitta, good to know :)"
"Hi Kaitake: I don't know what is "the best," but I take 10 mg of Lisinopril in the morning. I never have had any problems taking it. I was a bit concerned, because I used to have low blood pressure when I was younger, but I have taken…"
Kaitake replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"Cool thanks for this Kim. Seems my GP and my endo have given me conflicting advice on this, so I will definitely go with what my endo recommends. Thanks for posting your dosage, it's helpful to know what other people take too. I will check with…"
Kaitake replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"Thanks Tim, I will check out Coazar as it's always useful to know what alternatives are available, thanks :)"
Kim replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"It sounds like your endo has given you his/her best advice. Your pharmacist should be able to give you a side by side comparison of the drugs. I started taking Lisinopril 2.5mg about 3 years ago for kidney protection. Before I started taking it, my…"
Timothy replied to Kaitake's discussion 'What's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?'"I could not tolerate any of the ACE inhibitors. I get feeling of choking and I can never clear my throat. My BP was never high but my Endo thought I should find one that I could tolerate. Finally I was prescribed Coazar which is an Ace Blocker. It…"
Kaitake posted a discussionWhat's the best ACE inhibitor for T1?
Hi everyone, I've been to see my Endo today and I had to admit to him that I've been slack in taking my ace inhibitor (or NOT taking as the case may be!)So he wrote me a new prescription for Lisinopril and said that one is best. I have some Cilazipril tablets left over from a previous prescription, and I want to know if the two are equal?What type of ace inhibitor are you on?I have macro-albuminuria (not micro) which is unexplained, so I really want to take the tabs, it's just that Lisinopril…See More
