Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is too high, often leading to health issues such as heart disease and stroke. It can be caused by factors like stress, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or genetics. Managing hypertension typically involves lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication, to reduce the risk of complications.
Normal blood pressure is typically defined as a systolic pressure (the top number) of less than 120 mm Hg and a diastolic pressure (the bottom number) of less than 80 mm Hg. This is commonly written as 120/80 mm Hg. Maintaining a normal blood pressure is important to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. Regular monitoring and a healthy lifestyle can help keep blood pressure in the normal range

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)

  • Normal Blood Pressure::Systolic: Less than 120 mm Hg Diastolic: Less than 80 mm Hg
  • Elevated Blood Pressure: Systolic: 120-129 mm Hg, Diastolic: Less than 80 mm Hg
  • Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic: 130-139 mm Hg ,Diastolic: 80-89 mm Hg
  • Hypertension Stage 2:Systolic: 140 mm Hg or higher, Diastolic: 90 mm Hg or higher
  • Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency): Systolic: Higher than 180 mm Hg, Diastolic: Higher than 120 mm Hg. Immediate medical attention is required.
This classification helps in diagnosing and managing blood pressure levels effectively.

Cause: Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in little to no insulin production

Management: Lifelong insulin therapy is essential, as this type is known as Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM).
