[QUOTE="MetabolicJim, post: 2353212, member: 517274"] Yes. My blood pressure was high when I got diagnosed. I think the doctor didn’t address it then because I was reluctant to take medication so ranked the problems in terms of what needed addressed first and blood sugar came out top. Anyway he sent me a nice form to fill out with 2 morning and 2 evening readings and somewhere to calculate the average over a week. He got me to do it around this time of year I think because blood pressure varies with the seasons due to the temperature. My blood pressure is not too bad now. I’d prefer a bit lower but realistically I need to loose more weight and do more exercise for that. Blood pressure is a big risk factor for cardiovascular disease so it’s important to keep an eye on it. Measurements can vary quite a lot so you need to monitor over a week to know where you stand [/QUOTE]
