we have a patient here who has two very serious medical conditions; diabetes and high blood pressure. most likely too as a pharmacist i am going to ask on what medications they're on and i guarantee they're on quite a few. with acai berry we don't have any data on whether or not it interacts with medications and when you have something like cardiovascular disease and diabetes it's probably better to be safe than sorry. we have patients who end up taking these products because they think that they're natural and they're safe and they're not going to do anything. well most cases end up in the emergency room.
is it okay to take acai berry while having diabetes and high blood pressure?
