Blood Pressure associated with diabetes

donnita53

My husband has been diagnosed recently with diabetes & is on oral medication at this time. Is it common to be placed on high blood pressure medication at the same time even though blood pressure is normal??? I am presuming as a preventative?

I would appreciate any knowledge on this topic. Thanks

Yes. ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril, reduce microalbuminuria (albumin in the urine), preserve kidney function and slow the progression of kidney disease caused by Type II diabetes.
