HBP meds are cheap and have virtually no side effects. TAKE THEM.
This is coming from a woman with HBP and diabetes and high cholesterol. Take your meds! See your doctor!
Diabetes is fairly straightforward to manage with diet and exercise if you don't let it get out of control in the beginning. It's definitely better to know and then read up on how to manage it. Not all that difficult, really, if you put some effort into it.
And it's not like it's an instant death sentence or anything. It's not FUN, but there are far worse conditions to have.
At any rate, not knowing these things isn't helping you. Ignoring easily managed conditions is not a good idea.
Okay, "mommy rant" is now over.
