[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1085870, member: 211362"] My endocrinologist explained to me when I asked him why they're so concerned about blood pressure and cholesterol that the 2 are also controlled by hormones. Don't ask me to explain that. lol. But he basically explained that diabetes is a hormone condition and that it impacts other hormones that control other things. As for me I have 2 hormonal conditions in that case. Also they term the 3 things combined as metabolic syndrome. I'm on BP meds and my BP definitely plays up a lot when I'm in too much pain or sick with something even on the meds. I had my dosage increased a small amount this year too. I haven't had my cholesterol checked lately but high cholesterol runs in my family. They've threatened to put me on statins before... I'm not keen on that. But here you have to be over a certain level to get the subsidised med otherwise you're paying over $100 per month for it. [/QUOTE]
