The Lethal Synergy of High Blood Sugar and Hypertension
More than 60% of people with Type 2 diabetes also suffer from hypertension. Chronic high blood glucose stiffens arterial walls and causes endothelial dysfunction, forcing the heart to pump against greater resistance. At the same time, high blood pressure damages the delicate filtering units (glomeruli) in the kidneys, accelerating diabetic kidney disease.
Controlling blood pressure is just as critical as managing blood sugar in preventing strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure. Dual tracking provides a complete picture of your cardiovascular health.
Most clinical guidelines recommend maintaining blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg for individuals with diabetes to preserve renal and cardiovascular function.
