two days ago i was assigned to ER(im having my preclinical), one patient turned out to be hypoglycemic(feels cold,general weakness,etc), taking her vital signs, it turned out she has a high BP...
question: what's the relationship of BP to Hypoglycemia(and if possible for hyper too)?(out of my curiosity i tried to ask my instructor and he gave it to me as a homework)
sorry for the troubles though(i tried searching for its relation but i didnt find anything)
Yeah, high BP is SO influenced by genes... how old was the patient? I have a question, too. Has anyone heard of LADA (late onset adult diabetes)? My doctors were looking into this for me b/c I was running high blood sugars for awhile and getting chronic yeast infections and thrush. (I was also getting little sleep at the time and stressed beyond belief.) After I started taking better care of myself, the sugars came down to ALMOST normal and I haven't had any more trouble with the infections. BUT they worried about this (LADA) b/c I have bad circulation in the extremities (genetic) :) and trouble with my pancreas. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Stress -> increased cortisol -> enhanced gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and and amino acid metabolism -> increased serum glucose.
