What Is The Connection Between High Blood Pressure And Diabetes?

By Christian Goodman

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

The person who suffers from diabetes feels no symptoms just like hypertension. And this affects their major organs and eyes for years.

In fact, those with high blood pressure and diabetes are over 75 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke! In addition to this hypertension also affects heart, kidney's and eyes.

Medication is a must for many people. But the good news is diabetes can also be delayed or prevented from spreading by exercising regularly and by maintaining a healthy weight. It also advised to avoid excess alcohol.

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. Even though medications are available it comes with dangerous side effects.

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