my mom’s bp went from 165/somethingorother unmedicated to 115/80 with meds to 115/80 w/o meds but doing low carb.
Low carb eliminated the need for meds altogether. And within just a week or 10 days. After 3 or 4 days, when she hit ketosis really good she started feeling faint. Had our cousin who’s a nurse take her b/p and b/s. b/p was 90 over something (she was still taking her meds) and her b/s was 90. First time her b/s had been under 100 in years. She called her internist who halved her b/p meds on the spot. Ended up ditching them altogether within 2 weeks.
She still takes metformin. Just because. So do I.
And her arthritis in her hands and feet doesn’t bug her like it used to. Even when it’s cold.
