Controlling blood pressure is also important for the health management of diabetics, and when blood sugar and blood pressure are out of control, they are like a pair of troublemakers, which not only exacerbates the condition of diabetes, but may also cause a series of cardiovascular complications. But don’t worry, if you learn these three ways, you can keep your blood pressure clean and healthy.
First, people with diabetes need regular monitoring of blood pressure. It is recommended that blood pressure be measured at least once a month for sugar friends who have not yet experienced high blood pressure; for sugar friends who already have high blood pressure, blood pressure is better monitored daily. The control objective is to keep blood pressure below 140/80 mmHg and, for young, non-complicated sugar friends, to be more strictly controlled below 130/80 mmHg. Under the guidance of a doctor, we can choose to use some specific depressive drugs to help us control blood pressure.
Lifestyle adjustments are essential for blood pressure management. Increased intake of dietary fibres and recommended daily intake of 25 to 35 g by adults help to reduce blood pressure. At the same time, weight control is an effective means of reducing blood pressure, and overweight and obese sugar friends are advised to reduce weight by controlling energy intake and increasing physical activity. In addition, increased exercise can help control blood sugar and blood pressure by recommending at least five medium-intensity campaigns per week for at least 30 minutes each. The cessation of smoking and the restriction of alcohol are also effective measures to reduce blood pressure, and sugar pals are advised to stop or control alcohol consumption.
The effect of emotions on blood pressure cannot be ignored. Blood pressure rises rapidly when we get emotional, nervous and anxious. So, sugar friends learn to manage their emotions and keep their blood pressure “quietly”. There are ways to relax yourself, like deep breaths, meditation, listening to music, reading, etc. They are like a “lock” on emotions that allows us to remain calm and calm in the face of stress and challenges.
Through these three methods, diabetes patients can effectively manage blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Regular monitoring, healthy lifestyle and emotional management are the three main means of controlling blood pressure. Let us work together to make blood pressure no longer an obstacle to diabetes management.
