I'm concerned about my mom's health since she has type 2 diabetes and high BP. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to have coconut water and buttermilk every day. She's currently taking Glycomet GP2 for her sugar levels and Listril for her blood pressure. Would these drinks affect her medications or condition in any way?
