There are some common mistakes people make when checking their blood pressure at home. Medical Director Dr. Mark Newbrough shows people the correct way to check blood pressure at the Cabin Creek Health Center. Evelyn Casteele has been managing her disease for 29 years. Women usually experience complications from this disease 10 years later than men.

They show signs fairly early in life. Lifestyle changes in weight, diet, and exercise are a must for treatment. Evelyn walks on the clinic's outdoor track.
