Hi
I wrote a couple of months ago when first diagnosed, as had read some scarey stuff :?
I have now had 5 appoitments with the diabetic nurse who is brilliant. I have lost 7lb in weight and getting use to my healthier diet.
All good so far. :wink:
Anyway I have had high Bp since my son was born 12 years ago, but it is steadily rising and was 233/165 the other day. I am booked in for a 24 hour bp monitiring this week but im actually quite worried about it. The nurse did it 3 times to check and all three readings were the same. She didn't seem too worried and i didn't really know what the figures meant. When I told my father he was really shocked that the nurse didn't do anything there and then and said i was a stroke waiting to happen. SCAREY!!
So my question is should I be worried.
I take medication for my blood pressure, diabetes, mental health. x
Thankyou. xxxx
