HI,

If you are asking whether taking losatran is an issue for you, we would not know. When ever you have a concern about your medications, you should check with your doctor. Then know you whole picture. In other words, they know your medications and conditions including environment.

These are questions you should be discussing with your doctor. None of us are medical experts but can only speak from our own experiences. What I might tell you regarding a medication could be entirely different for you. We are all different and what may work for one may not work for you. This is why you need to talk with your doctor.

Hi, christkingdom. Most of us here would be ecstatic to have a GFR of 83. But are you 18 years old or 78 years old? (You don't have to answer that.) For an 18 year old a GFR of 83 might be bad news as a healthy 18 year old should have a GFR of at least 100. For a 78 year old, that is a great GFR as GFR computations (determined by creatinine level, age, gender and race) take age into account - and your GFR will naturally decrease with age.

As far as an A1C score of 5.6 is concerned, all of my lab results always state that an A1C score of 5.7 or less means there is NO sign of Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes. But I sure would work to not cut it so close by losing weight if applicable and by cutting out sugars and the like - watching those carbs and don't forget daily exercise.

And if your blood pressure is under control and monitored by a doctor, then that is great news.

Sorry, I don't know about the rest of your question. I hope this helped to some degree.
