Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2006BG vs BP question
Is there a relationship between bg and blood pressure, ie, a high bg results in bp to go up somewhat...just curious? And when bg goes back to 'normal,' does the bp drops to a normal range?  SignatureDave C. I rather doubt there is a significant connection. When I was diagnosed my BP was normal while my FBG was 270. > Is there a relationship between bg and blood pressure, ie, a high bg > results in bp to go up somewhat...just curious?

And when bg goes back to > 'normal,' does the bp drops to a normal range? I have has both diabetes and hypertension for several years. In my case the answer to your question is no, there is absolutely no relationship between the two readings at all. My blood pressure "jumps" all over the place, but my BG readings are reasonably good and steady most of the time. My doctor and home nurse have been trying to get my BP stable and after a number of changes in the medicines and dosages, it seems they have finally found the right combination at last. > Is there a relationship between bg and blood pressure, ie, a high bg results > in bp to go up somewhat...just curious? They are tied together indirectly through the metabolic syndrome (MetS). > And when bg goes back to 'normal,' does the bp drops to a normal range? Only when the MetS is being cured by one becoming lean and trim from losing all the visceral fat.

However, still praying for his endangered soul. Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love, Andrew http://tinyurl.com/jjl29 How chronically elevated BG with due to deficient insulin and with normal food intake can cause BP problems?

A bit more. . .I had a bleeding ulcer in February of 2005 and came out of it with very low hemoglobin. The end effect of the ultra-low hemoglobin was: 1. Elevated resting pulse rate 2. Sky-high blood sugars and insulin use (2X insulin) 3. Elevated blood pressure. I assume that all three were a response to the stress of low hemoglobin. I could track the slow increase in hemoglobin by the slow decrease in resting pulse and daily insulin. I suggest that my elevated b.p. associated with insulin-induced low bG is also a response to stress (low bG = adrenaline release?) Regards Old Al > Is there a relationship between bg and blood pressure, ie, a high bg results > in bp to go up somewhat...just curious?

Extreme high bg can result in diabetic ketoacidosis (esp in a Type 1), which can cause lowered blood pressure (although the heart-beating-too-fast and funny breathing are much more obvious signs of DKA). But if you're in DKA you've got a lot bigger concerns than just your blood pressure! Any medicine (or food or supplement) that causes you to retain water or flush water from your body (some diabetes medications fall into this category) can also affect your BP. This is more a case of medication causing a change in BP rather than bg causing a change in BP. Tim. |
