Any Diabetics with high blood pressure taking yasmin?

Hi everyone,

My doctor took me off of Yasmin many years ago because of several deaths in Europe that were linked to it. I am 37 and an insulin dependent diabetic and I take the blood pressure medicines Enalapril and Atenolol. Since I have been off Yasmin, I have gained so much weight and feel that the pills are stopping me from reaching my weight loss goals. I am currently on Ovcon 35. I was told that women on blood pressure medicine should not take yasmin due to the possible raise of pottasium levels. I am wondering if there are any women out there that are on Yasmin and taking blood pressure medicine? Or any diabetics on blood pressure medicine that are taking Yasmin? If so, I am wondering how long you have been on it and if you feel okay on it? What does your doctor say about it? I would love to go back to taking it, but I am scared because I am on blood pressure medicine and my doctor has been putting the fear of God in me about Yasmin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
