     The doctor Im seeing at the local clinic isnt pushing medication hard. He's hesitant to prescribe and is pushing diet and exercise lifestyle changes as the primary solution, the medicines just give you some help and reprieve (time) to get where you need to be.

     @EscapeVelo Describe to me how you were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease? Because these doctors will put literally anyone on drugs if they're dumb enough to take them. Rule No. 1, never take their pills.

     @ThePirateQueen @EscapeVelo some of them may be useful, tho

     the life-extension hackers have made some inroads in this area; metformin, for example, seems to have some use for longevity (via mTOR, I believe), even though it was designed as a diabeetus medication

     PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis) are associated with a lower risk of dementia (due to improved bloodflow) to go along with your improved boners

     lowering blood pressure overall reduces incidence of cardiac and kidney issues, by definition; there's usually not a downside to doing that

     beta-blockers, by lowering heart rate, lowers incidence of heart attacks and increases survival if you do have one, I believe

     not all aspects of modern pharmacology are bullshit, even if the first response to most things is to stuff a pill down your face; it's important to be a savvy consumer and to understand where you can get actual benefits

     I'm serious by the way. If you're pre-diabetic or have metabolic disease, one of the primary medications you'd be looking for is metformin.
     
     Berberine is otc and has been shown as effective as metformin for some people.

     Thanks for the reminder, I'm talking with my doctor about my own diabetes and I do not want my kidneys wrecked by high dosages of metformin.

     Just check the dosage. If I recall, it's 500mg with each meal, but many vendors sell 1000mg capsules.
