P.M. ## How Does Diabetes Impact Blood Pressure?
Photographer / Antonis Achilleos, Prop Stylist / Christine Kelly, Food Stylist / Karen Rankin
Untreated or unmanaged diabetes leads to chronically high blood sugar.
When excess sugar is circulating through the blood, eventually, small blood vessels are damaged.
When blood vessels are injured, they can stiffen and narrow, which ultimately leads to high blood pressure.
