People with diabetes have multiple health concerns that must be managed and controlled.
However, there are 3 key elements that individuals need to focus on when they have the
disease.
Glucose and A1C
Regular testing of blood glucose levels is essential. It tells individuals their current blood sugar
levels. If glucose levels are too low, they need to eat something to increase those levels or
administer insulin to lower blood sugar.
Equally important is obtaining regular A1C testing. It’s a measure of how well an individual is
managing their glucose levels. The test provides a record that spans the previous 3 months and
shows how well glucose levels are being managed. A1C is utilized by doctors to create or
maintain a treatment plan.
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is also known as hypertension. Diabetes causes a degenerative cascading
effect that begins with the kidneys. The disease scars the kidneys and impairs function. They
don’t filter waste and toxins from the body efficiently.
As kidney function suffers, it results in salt and water retention that causes high blood pressure.
Diabetes causes blood vessel walls to stiffen and harden over time. Blood vessels don’t work as
efficiently at moving blood through the body.
Cholesterol
Elevated cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are inextricably linked. High blood pressure
occurs when an individual has too many lipids – “bad” fats – in their blood. If too many lipids are
present, they can’t be eliminated from the body. Lipids build up in arteries to form plaque that
narrows the pathway for blood to circulate.
Testing is Crucial
The only way for individuals to know if they have high blood pressure and cholesterol build up
is testing. Both conditions often progress for years without any obvious signs or symptoms.
When detected early, any problems with blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol can be
treated successfully.
