Hi, I’m Greg Collins and I’m a CVS pharmacist. If you have diabetes, maintaining levels of total cholesterol and LDL (or “the bad cholesterol”) within a healthy target range is very important in preventing cardiac and neurological problems. However, people who suffer from both diabetes and high blood pressure are often concerned that their blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering drugs will raise their blood sugar. The truth is that this is very rare; increased blood sugars seldom occur as a result of taking medications that lower cholesterol.
No matter what, if you have diabetes it’s important to maintain an optimal blood sugar level and cholesterol level at all times. According to the American Diabetes Association, the basic goal for people with diabetes is a blood sugar reading between 70 and 130 on an empty stomach, and less than 180 two hours after the start of a meal. The blood pressure goal is less than 130 over 80 and LDL goal of less than 100. Talk to your physician or diabetes educator to determine your specific goals. Proper diet, exercise, weight control, and medication all play incredibly important parts in preventing any major complications, including cardiac and neurological ones, and should be part of your daily routine.
I hope this answers any questions you may have about having diabetes and managing your high blood pressure and cholesterol. If you have any other questions, a CVS pharmacist will always be here to help.

According to one of the world’s most highly regarded scientists , we human beings no longer have to fear premature death or heart attack caused by progressive cardiovascular disease (CVD), undergo heart by-pass surgery or angioplasty, or suffer the chest pain of Angina Pectoris.

The medicinal substances involved are not drugs. The two primary ingredients of the Linus Pauling invention are both required in some daily amount for life itself. The great benefit comes from taking these two completely non-toxic substances in amounts much larger than one normally consumes in the diet.

Linus Pauling did not make this claim lightly, although he made it without fanfare. Pauling waited until after careful experiments at his institute confirmed the Lp(a)/vitamin C connection.

The details of this amazing discovery, its suppression by medical authorities, elements of the United States government and other governments, and the mainstream press, are described on these web pages. You can also view a Linus Pauling lecture on video tape. Pauling explains how you can return your cardiovascular health, safely, without surgery.

Thanks to medical science, it is now possible for cardiovascular disease patients to live a more healthful future; free of pain and symptoms of their former cardiovascular illness. An extraordinary claim. A claim unknown to most doctors, but one those suffering severe disease can verify for themselves in a few weeks.
