Default Diabetes & Hypertension

Here comes the big question of the day.

Currently, I am taking Micardis HCT for my hypertension. Since, low carbing and losing some weight my blood pressure has dropped close to hypotension range. I've cut my medicine in half and will get to my doctor soon to adjust my meds. I'm seeing an endocrinologist in a month.

My question is ..Will the endo take care of my hypertension meds or should I go to my GP?

I would normally go to my GP who prescribed the drug but, he hasn't been the most proactive person on my diabetes/health team. However, I'm not sure if endos will even work out my hypertension meds since I suppose that isn't their specialty - or am I wrong?

Thanks,
~Danielle
