  • Diabetes

    Diagnosing Diabetes

    According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases: People over age 45 should be tested for prediabetes or diabetes. If the first blood glucose test is normal, they should be retested every 3 years. If you are younger, you should be tested if you are at high risk.

  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Hypertension

    High Blood Pressure/Hypertension

    Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. The force is created with each heartbeat as blood is pumped from the heart into the blood vessels. Blood pressure is also affected by the size of the artery walls and how elastic they are. Each time the heart beats (contracts and relaxes), pressure is created inside the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, increases the risk for coronary heart disease (heart attack) and stroke (brain attack).
