Women who develop Diabetes associated with pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus) are at increased risk of becoming 'Diabetic' later in life. However, this risk is lower in affected women who strictly follow healthy eating patterns.

Season's greetings🎅

Pregnant women with Diabetes should be on low-dose aspirin from the end of the first trimester until the baby is born, in order to reduce the risk of ‘preeclampsia’.
Ask your Primary Care Physician for more information.

Having hypertension increases one's risk of developing diabetes and vice versa.

The co-existence of these two increases the odds of complications like stroke and heart attack.

The eyes, alongside heart, kidneys, and brain are described as ‘end organs’.
Poor sight (retinopathy) is common in persons with hypertension and when it occurs, could be an indicator of damage to other end organs.

Hypertension may lead to heart enlargement which is a major risk factor for stroke, heart attack, and heart failure.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) done routinely can detect and help avoid these complications early.

Elderly people with hypertension are susceptible to frequent multiple, small, asymptomatic ‘strokes’ (cerebral infarcts) which may lead to progressive intellectual or cognitive decline and dementia.

Repeat episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can result in reduced ability to detect it aka hypoglycemia unawareness.
This could become fatal over time.

Early detection and management of milder grades of high blood pressure contributes to the declining incidence of malignant grades of the condition.
