When people think about diabetes monitoring, blood glucose usually comes to mind first.
But glucose is not the only health parameter that may require attention.
Blood pressure is another part of broader cardiovascular and metabolic assessment. High blood pressure may not always cause noticeable symptoms, so relying only on how you feel may not identify it.
The broader picture may include:
- Blood glucose
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol and other lipid parameters
- Body weight and waist circumference
- Smoking status and physical activity
- Individual medical and family history
Not everyone has the same cardiovascular risk or monitoring requirements.
At Kharghar Diabetes & Obesity Clinic, blood pressure may be considered alongside glucose and other relevant metabolic and cardiovascular factors during individual assessment.
The frequency of monitoring should be determined according to your health circumstances and professional medical advice.
