Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Most likely YES: The number one contributor to High Blood Pressure and Diabetes is Obesity. The majority of persons who lose significant amounts of weight and return to a normal BMI see a decrease in their blood pressure and a normalization of their diabetes. Calorie counting, exercise and an active lifestyle can help you lose weight. Substitute sweets for healthier snacks like veggies, and walk 30 min daily
