Women with high blood pressure are 3 times more likely to develop diabetes than normal women. Women with uncontrolled blood pressure are at greater risk of getting diabetes than who control their blood sugar levels. This research study was published in the European heart Journal. Combination of diabetes and blood pressure put women’s health under greater risk.
Researchers took other predisposing factors like obesity, age, smoking, alcoholism, exercise and family history into consideration. They followed 38,000 women for ten years before coming to this conclusion.
Both blood pressure and diabetes are come under metabolic syndrome and both are worsened by progression of endothelial dysfunction. Physicians should aggressively control blood pressure in diabetics.
According to International Diabetes Federation, 4 million people will die from Diabetes in 2007. Diabetes can be controlled by regular exercise, proper diet and medication.
Unless women control their blood pressure, they will likely suffer from another chronic disease, diabetes. Obesity is major risk factor for both diseases.
