An angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that is often recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure may also be helpful in treating some features of diabetes. The use of this medication has the potential to improve insulin sensitivity, protect the kidneys, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes. Due to the fact that this is a generic medication, it is often covered by insurance and Medicare Part D programs. Even if you do not have health insurance, it is not prohibitively expensive, particularly when you use coupons or other savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, ACE inhibitors lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as the chance of kidney disease developing in diabetic patients, according to Karishma Patwa, MD<\/a>, a cardiologist at Manhattan Cardiology. Read the article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to make an appointment with Dr. Patwa?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
