Diabetes and High Blood Pressure Often go Together (High blood pressure)

The likeliness of a person with diabetes having high blood pressure is in fact much greater than that of a person without diabetes and high blood pressure alone is enough of a health concern. As well, the odds of a person with diabetes and high blood pressure having heart problems is four time more likely than a person without either one.

Blood pressure is considered high if a reading of more than 140 over 90 is found. That is a pressure of 140 systolic, when the heart beats, and 90 diastolic, between beats when blood is filling the heart. A few of the symptoms of high blood pressure may be headache, dizziness and blurred vision. If you have diabetes and high blood pressure is a concern, you should immediately consult your physician in order to find out what you can do next.

Diabetes and high blood pressure share a couple of common issues as neither is completely curable and both can cause serious, life-threatening problems. However, they can both be controlled. People with controlled diabetes and high blood pressure can live a normal life provided they take the proper precautions.

Lifestyle and Diet are Keys To Survival

People with diabetes and high blood pressure often share the same admonishments when it comes to diet and exercise. These simple changes in a person s lifestyle can have a profound affect on their health. Limiting salt, alcohol and nicotine ingestion can greatly reduce the symptoms of diabetes and high blood pressure.

Exercise is known to improve the health of the heart and the entire cardiovascular system and daily exercise can help with weight loss, which can be positive for both diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercise helps strengthen the cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. However if a lifestyle has been sedentary for an extended period of time consultation with a physician is recommended to insure the body can accommodate a planned regimen.

With diabetes, most common of which is Type II, the body does not produce enough insulin and can cause vision problems, including blindness, stroke and heart attack as well as amputation, kidney failure and nerve damage. The effects of diabetes and high blood pressure are closely related and proper care must be taken if you have even one so as to lessen the chances of having them both.

Medication for diabetes and high blood pressure can help but only to a point. A change in lifestyle will be necessary to improve a person s quality, as well as length, of life.

Customer Review: not enough information
I found this book to be a summary of all the collective knowledge I have previously obtained on the subject of high blood pressure. I purchased the book looking forward to following their suggested eating plan, however, the receipes do not contain any information with respect to number of servings, calories, sodium content, fat content, etc. You never quite know if that Spinach Pie you just wolfed down was meant to be shared amongst 2 or 6 people. Because of this, I had to give up as I just don't have the time to calculate appropriate servings size, etc.
