DIABETES AND ASSOCIATED COMPLICATIONS

Prof. Mrs. S. Poonguzhali

Abstract :

 High blood pressure or hypertension is a condition that’s often present in people with type 2 diabetes. It’s unknown why there’s such a significant correlation between the two diseases. It’s believed that obesity, a diet high in fat and sodium, and inactivity contribute to both conditions. Hypertension is known as a “silent killer” because it has no obvious symptoms and many people are unaware that they have it. A 2013 survey by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) found that fewer than half of people at risk for heart disease or type II diabetes reported discussing biomarkers, including blood pressure, with their care providers. About 25% of people with Type 1 diabetes and 80% of people with Type 2 diabetes have high blood pressure.
