A Serious Journey

Hello Milfredo!

Welcome to Health Central and thank you for offering to share your insights and experiences here on My diabetescentral.com.

There is alot of great information here on Health Central that you might find interesting. while Health Central is not a replacement for your doctor's advice, it is a great place to find information that will help in asking all the right questions to better manage your health.

For those people who are on daily medications for the heart, high blood pressure and diabetes, there is a good article that talks about the advances made in drug combinations. This one specifically talks to Blood Pressure drug combos being beneficial to diabetic hearts. This article written in Nov 07, talks about the decline in heart disease among diabetics so something is working!!

I see from your site that you have found a great diet plan to help you along with the care of good doctors. We would love it if you would share some of your experiences here so that others might benefit from them as well. There are some great articles you might find interesting here. Particularly since you've had heart issues as well as diabetes. Craig Stoltz, a health jounalist, had an article about Diabetes and Heart Risks that outlines new facts. Amy Norton wrote an article called "Trimming the waist might trim diabetes and heart risks". There is also a great section here about heart/diabetes healthy diets. 

I hope you will consider sharing more of your story. There might be someone out there with the same issues as you who could benefit from your experiences. Likewise there might be people out there you can benefit from as well.

Please do stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
