Is my blood pressure normal?
The usual target for normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg, and high blood pressure is typically diagnosed when someone has readings above 140/90 mmHg on a regular basis. It is important to understand that blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day and does tend to increase as you age. So if you have normal blood pressure at age 30 or 40, this does not mean that your blood pressure will continue to be normal into your later years, which is why it is important to have your blood pressure checked as part of your annual check-ups with your physician.
How can diabetes affect my joints?
Diabetes can affect the tendons in your joints, if you are having issues with high blood sugar levels. Basically the excess sugar in your blood can get deposited in your tendons in certain areas which makes the tendons thicker. This can happen in your wrist and cause carpal tunnel syndrome, or in your shoulders and fingers. The thickening of the tendons causes issues with movement around the joint and can cause pain and discomfort. If you feel you are having some joint issues as a result of your diabetes, please speak with your doctor.
