High blood pressure? What now?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you're diabetic, you're at increased risk of high blood pressure (BP). And when the two conditions combine, the risks multiply.
Luckily, there are lots of things you can do to prevent or lower high BP and we've got you covered!
In this episode we unpack:
- What high BP means for the diabetic body.
- Why a BP test at the doctor's office won't give the full picture.
- How to measure BP properly at home.
- The meds, diet & lifestyle changes that bring BP down.
Plus, how to cope with yet another scary number (we've been there).
We love it when listeners say hi. Drop us a text.
