DETAILED INFORMATION

Reference Values

Clinical studies show that adult diabetes is often accompanied by
elevated blood pressure. People with diabetes can reduce their heart
risk by managing their blood pressure along with diabetes treatment
Monitoring your routine blood pressure trend helps you to know your
body condition. Human blood pressure naturally increases after
reaching middle age. This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of
the blood vessels. Further causes include obesity, lack of exercise and
cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood pressure
accelerates hardening of the arteries, and the body becomes more
susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.
The recommended blood pressure range is as below:
