what sort of disease is diabetes and high blood pressure levels?
Hi Brittney, Diabetes results from chronically elevated blood glucose levels. There are different types of diabetes, and there are several factors, both genetic and behavioral, that can cause blood glucose levels to remain too high. High blood pressure can also be caused by different factors. For persons 18 years and older, normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg. In both cases, the diet, including good carbs, can play a significant positive role.
