What Is The Connection Between High Blood Pressure And Diabetes?
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.
Myself and her doctor took this seriously as she was earlier diagnosed with hypertension. It was some few years back.
People should understand more than two third of people with diabetes do have high blood pressure. Is that a problem?
Normally diabetes means that the 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.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body does actually produce insulin but it is unable to properly process sugar. Of the over 5 million sufferers of diabetes (experts believe this number is actually double and that many people suffer from the disease and don’t realize it), between 90-95% of those suffer type 2 diabetes.
From the research it has been confirmed that diabetes is the main cause for kidney failure and 6th reason for heart failure. 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.
Just like high blood pressure, the person who suffers from diabetes feels no symptoms at all. And this affects their major organs and eyes for years.
In addition to this hypertension also affects heart, kidney’s and eyes. 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.
Like diabetes, there are many things that those who suffer from high blood pressure can do to reduce the effects, they include, maintaining a healthy weight, not drinking alcohol to excess, not smoking and exercise. Medications are available but have serious side effects, exacerbated by a parallel condition like diabetes.
