Can I have hypertension if I control my diabetes?

confused asked:


I’m 29 , female and was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in February and since then taking metformin 500mg twice a day and diet and exercise changes. My weight dropped from 59kg to 52kg now, and my BMi is 23.7. My blood glucose is normal now, below 6.2 pre breakfast.
However, after my visit to doc, my blood pressure up at 140/88. I never had high blood pressure before, but I may have overindulged on some high salt food and snacks some days before the test and am constantly stressed.
Can I have hypertension even if I control my blood glucose? Or does the eating and stressing have something to do with it ? How many times do I have to test them?
Sometimes I get panic attack and afraid to see the doc. Does that contribute to the pressure? If so, how can I manage them?

    Comparing apples and oranges. Diabetes and hypertension aren’t necessarily linked. Remember when you binge on salty foods, wherever salt goes water follows so by eating salt you will retain water until the salt is removed from your body.

    Yes, bringing your blood sugars under control is a wonderful step; but, many things contribute to hypertension. It can even be effected by genetic factors. Stress is also a major component. You should consider getting a blood pressure kit to use at home. These are often not completely accurate - but they can show a trend.

    Whatever happens - control your blood sugars - it has many effects on many health issues.

    Good luck
