Hypertension and Diabetes

24 Replies

Six weeks after giving birth I was tested for diabetes again. Most of the time, women who have gestational diabetes return to normal at this point. I did not. I was told to go to my primary care physician for follow up. Again, I suspect I didn’t have gestational diabetes, but just at that point undiscovered diabetes.

With my health being poor and my baby being complicated (probably due to my cortisol levels), I didn’t immediately go to my doctor like I was supposed to. It was not until my son was nearly two and a half that I finally felt I could manage to go.

My blood pressure was too high, and at a level that needed attention. My A1c was 6.8. My doctor took a wait and see approach with my diabetes but immediately addressed my blood pressure. I tried several medications and ended up cycling back to the first one my doctor had tried. I gave it longer the second time around and the side effects settled and the medication was effective. I started taking 200 mg of CoQ10 a day and that lowered my BP an extra 10 points and got me to a great level.

My A1c started to creep up. I didn’t want to start taking Metformin, but eventually it was unavoidable. But my A1c still kept increasing. We added Amaryl. Still my diabetes was not under control. We doubled my Amaryl in December 2012. Metformin helps the body utilize insulin. Amaryl urges the pancreas to make more insulin. I believe that this increase in insulin was the catalyst that made me so much worse that I started my quest for answers that eventually led me to find out about my Cushing’s Disease.

    Thanks for the interesting things you have disclosed in your article. One thing I’d like to comment on is that FSBO relationships are built with time. By presenting yourself to owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO is announced, before the masses begin calling on Monday, you create a good connection. By mailing them instruments, educational elements, free reviews, and forms, you become an ally. By taking a personal affinity for them and their circumstance, you develop a solid interconnection that, on most occasions, pays off if the owners opt with a realtor they know as well as trust — preferably you.
