I am diabetic, and was put on Lisinopril to protect my kidneys. Keep in mind that I am of healthy body weigt, and walk 5 miles a day almost every single day. Since I started this drug (20mg once daily) my sugars have skyrocketed. I have never had a fasting much over 90, and now I am waking up in the 140's and 150's. I also have a dry hacking cough is about to put me over the edge. I am frustrated to say the least. I want to try natural medicine, but am scared. I have 2 small children, and want to be around for a long time.......

seriously consider changeing medications it only gets worse of course you have to know but don't stay on it if you don't feel right about it the doctor will tell you it is not the med. but you know how you feel. I stopped taking it a week into it and when you first stop it got worse for me so i called the doctor and he was like what get back on it immediately and so i did. I wish i had stopped then because i took it for 2 months total and i am still getting over the side effects and it has been 6 weeks so what ever just trying to help. best of luck. You will also find if you research that it has venom from a brazilian snake in it. Zinc and Selinium help in recovery. I wish anyone the best if they have been on this crap. Tom A.
