Diabetes and Hypertension Complications
The combined impact of diabetes and high blood pressure can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and other health problems.
Identifying diabetes
Not everyone with diabetes will notice symptoms, including those with a diagnosis, as long as they are controlling their condition effectively.
If symptoms of high blood sugar levels do appear, they include:
Excessive thirst.Frequent need to urinate.
Increased night time urination.
Weakness and tiredness.
Blurred vision.
There are three kinds of diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
tends to appear during childhood or adolescence, but it can occur later in life. Symptoms can emerge relatively suddenly or over a number of weeks.Type 2 diabetes
can take years to develop, and most people do not notice symptoms. Someone typically finds out that they have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes when they attend a screening or if complications occur, such as neuropathy or kidney problems.Gestational diabetes
occurs only in pregnancy, but it can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes later in life. If the routine screening shows high blood sugar levels during pregnancy, a doctor will monitor the person’s condition until delivery. They will continue to do this for a few weeks afterward, but blood sugar levels usually fall.Oak Tree Centre for Kidney and Chronic Disease
