hi guys in this video I want to talk

about why diabetics tend to get high

blood pressure okay well first of all if

you’re a type 2 diabetic you have

insulin resistance which means you have

higher levels of insulin okay so what

happens the insulin is not working so

you have to take metformin or glucophage

to be able to get the receptor to obsess

accept insulin but then on the other

hand because there’s no return

communication to the pancreas the

feedback loops you get increased insulin

by five to seven times a normal person

if you want others to understand more of

that I put a link down below but the

point is that diabetics type to have

higher levels of insulin which then

cause the retention of sodium okay which

then caused the retention of water so

they have edema swelling and yes also

increase insulin increases inflammation

in the arteries as well as certain

constriction in the tone of the vessels

but the point is that the main thing

will do is a cause retention of sodium

retention of fluid increased blood

pressure that’s that’s the mechanism now

the treatment of course is to go on a

low salt diet right well what’s gonna

happen if you lower salt you still

haven’t fixed the high insulin so now

you create a sodium deficiency so you’re

going to get weakness fatigue constant

constipation things like that because

you need a certain amount of sodium for

a nerve and muscle function and then

there’s you put on medication usually a

diuretic which then has a side effect of

lowering potassium well guess what

if you lower potassium which normally

lowers blood pressure you’re going to

increase the relative ratio of higher

sodium when you because potassium and

sodium work together so you don’t want

to lose any more potassium from your

body in fact one of the best things you

could do if you’re diabetic has

increased more potassium from the diet a

lot of vegetables and even even as a

supplement as well when you can improve

the situation so you don’t want to

necessarily restrict sodium too much and

then also another side effect from the

diuretic is insulin resistance which

will increase more insulin

so the medication in dips ends up

aggravating the condition in making it

worse okay why because it’s not treating

the underlying cause in sort of

resistance so here’s what do you do what

you want to do is get on a keto program

I put a link down below which is

basically going to reduce your

carbohydrates which will then reduce

your need for insulin which will then

reduce the need for retention of sodium

and you’ll find that you’ll lose your

fluid you’ll actually have normal

balance of sodium and you probably have

to consume more sodium because you’ll

you won’t retain it anymore okay

so I watched those links down below and

let me know what you think hey you

probably already subscribed but if you

haven’t press this little button down
