Connection Between High Blood Pressure And Diabetes

23rd Dec, 2009 | No Comment | Posted in health

One of my friend was lately diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It came as total shocker to her as she didn’t fell any symptoms like lack of energy, frequent urination and weight loss.

She only came to know that she is diabetic when her physician ordered a test at her yearly check up.

It was some few years back she was diagnosed with hypertension. So this time Myself and her doctor took this seriously

People should understand more than two third of people with diabetes do have high blood pressure. Is that a problem?

Let us learn what diabetes means? A person is meant to be diabetes when his body could not process sugar properly. There are two types of diabetes. In type 1 the pancreas will not produce enough insulin to maintain blood sugar between meals. People who suffer from this kind of diabetes need to inject insulin in order to maintain blood sugar.

It is estimated among the 5 million people who suffer from diabetes 90 to 95% of people suffer from type 2 diabetes. In type 2 the body will actually produce insulin but it is not able to process sugar properly.

For the people who suffer from type 2 diabetes high sugar affects the tissues and begins to erode. Heart, kidney, eyes and nerves are most affected. From the research it has been confirmed that diabetes is the main cause for kidney failure and 6th reason for heart failure.

Like high blood pressure, the sufferer often feels no symptoms at all so their major organs and eyes are literally under attack for years.

Add to that a potentially life threatening disease like hypertension, which, surprise – also harms the eyes, kidneys and heart. In fact, those with high blood pressure and diabetes are over 75 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke!

While medication is needed for many with diabetes, the good news is that you can help delay or prevent the effects of the disease from spreading simply by maintaining a healthy weight and exercising. Additionally, avoid excessive alcohol intake.

Even though medications are available for hypertension it comes with dangerous side effects. Similar to diabetes people who suffer from hypertension can also do certain things like regular exercise, maintaining health, avoid drinking excess alcohol and stop smoking to reduce the effects of hypertension.

My hypertension program consists relaxing and natural exercises and have helped more than thousand people. I recommend my hypertension program if you are suffering from high blood pressure. It will even work out on type 2 diabetes as hypertension and diabetes are closely related.
