High blood pressure is also known as hypertension.
Hypertension occurs much more frequently in patients with diabetes.
This belief is wrong. If your blood pressure is high in a physician's office, just imagine what happens to your blood pressure when somebody cuts in front of you on the freeway. The fact is that life is full of stresses. People whose blood pressure rise abnormally high during stress eventually end up having high blood pressure all the time Hypertension in a diabetic patient must be treated aggressively, with medication in addition to dietary salt reduction and weight reduction. In addition to lowering blood pressure, these drugs have other beneficial effects, such as preserving kidney function and helping a weak heart.
