How do I prevent complications from high blood pressure and diabetes?
You can prevent complications by keeping both blood pressure (usually below 130/80 mmHg) and blood sugar (HbA1c usually below 7 %) under control. This requires a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet low in salt and sugar, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. Additionally, take prescribed medications as directed and attend routine medical check-ups to detect complications early.
