High Blood Pressure And Diabetes Do Not Go Hand In Hand |

A person suffering from diabetes must not
have blood pressure abnormalities to avoid any further complications.
Almost 50 % diabetics get affected by high blood pressure. Outcome is
either cardio vascular diseases or kidney dysfunction. In some cases,
vision also gets affected by it.
Patients
suffering from Type 2 diabetes usually suffer from high blood pressure
mainly because of high metabolic rates. It is mainly a result of
obesity, high level of blood glucose and abnormal level of triglyceride
and cholesterol.
While high blood pressure in type 1 diabetes is
normally because of nephron disorder or kidney dysfunction. In other
words, high BP in Type 1 diabetics may be taken as an indication of
diabetic nephropathy.
One striking similarity between high BP and
diabetes is the common cure measures. Normalcy of blood glucose in
diabetics and control over blood pressure abnormality could be brought
with proper dietary control and exercise.
Diabetics must aim at
maintaining normal level of blood pressure that is 120/180. Blood
pressure below this level is OK but, it should strictly not exceed this
level. Along with diet and exercise, diabetics are also given oral pills
for blood pressure normality. One such medicine is beta blocker that
brings down high BP level.
People suffering from HIV often die of
lethal combination of high BP and Diabetes that gives way to kidney
failure.
