Depending upon your: age and weight, it is possible that this is all diet/exercise induced. HBP is generally completely curable and the same for diabetes, even insulin-dependent diabetes: both of which are usually diet/weight/exercise induced.Rarely growths in the adrenal gland or a narrowed of a kidney artery cause HBP. Trim/ people can develop insulin-dependent DM not curable wi diet, HRS, MD,FACC

IDDM & HTN: Type 1 IDDM is ketosis-prone, occurs typically in younger persons, and is thought to be caused by either viral or autoimmune attack of pancreatic islet cells, featuring insulin deficiency. Type 2 IDDM differs. Pancreatic islet cells produce insulin in elevated amounts but tissues are insulin resistant. Obesity is typical. HTN derives from microvascular dz, high vasc resistance, salt retention.
