Hello doctor! I was born in 1953, at home I have a blood sugar monitor and blood pressure monitor. After a week of follow-up, the blood glucose index ranged from 9.1 to 7.0 mmol/L. Blood pressure ranges from 153/84 - 89 to 124/80 - 89. So do I have diabetes and high blood pressure? Thank you doctor for helping me!

Hello Uncle
Diabetes (diabetes) and hypertension are now very common, with an increasing frequency in the community. The diagnosis is not difficult, however, most patients have no specific clinical symptoms, so they are often diagnosed early, many cases are diagnosed too late, when complications have occurred, seriously affecting the patient's health. importance to the health of the patient.
In your case, if the measurement result is 7.0 and 9.1 mmol/L, which is the fasting blood sugar, then you may have diabetes, but if you do it after eating, the blood sugar is slightly higher.
Similarly, if your blood pressure is >/= 140/90 mmHg more than once, you may have hypertension.
Therefore, you should go to a specialist in Vinmec Health System for proper advice and treatment. Correct diagnosis and correct treatment are important to prevent future events.
