Default Chinese Medical

Doctor!

About a couple of weeks ago I was diagnose in China with slightly high blood pressure: 140/80 and slightly high glucose: 110.

Next day they gave me another blood test followed by a sweet drink and two hours later another blood test.

Chemist says I'm ok but Chinese surgeon doesn't.

I come back home and get tested and guess what?

Blood prssure 125 over 80 and Glucose 105.

I'm going back to China in four months, I'm on a diet and will go back to my mountain bike in about a month.

Can I lower both my blood pressure and glucose by diet/excercise?

Any sugestions?

Thanks, Doc.

Yes, diet and exercise are good for glucose and blood pressure. It may not cure all of it but when it is borderline like yours it will work.
