Diabetes and needles ??

I have dropped my weight.

I have not seen my doctor for hypertension medication in over 3 years. I monitor my BP and regulate it mainly by reduction of caffeine. I still have occassions that the BP is a little on the high side due to stress. I strive to reduce the stress and maintain the levels.

There are many that control their health than post on here about it. You might be strangely surprised.

 

My BP will creep up after long periods of inactivity (no real exercise). I find it goes back down to normal with only a couple weeks of cardio. But, for me it's a neglect thing when it happens, I don't believe I'm genetically predisposed to hypertension. I can definitely say that keeping active makes a huge difference though.

Type 2 in particular doesn't have the highest success rate of self control, probably because of the way it is obtained if it is inhereted by the intersection of susceptible genes coupled with unhealthy lifestyle. It's hard to change in later years. The Type 1 people are usually all over it.

 

The med cards you have heard at truck stops are for the medical clinics that are at some of them. Otherwise, don't believe everything you hear.

 

i have the opposite problem. when at rest my BP/pulse rate goes down REALLY low.
when i was in the hospital months ago my pulse went down to 33 BPM set the alarms off, nurses running in..

 

My solution was to get a killer dog, that needed a daily walk to help me to succeed.

 

My lord! They got you on a vasopressor or do you carry an epipen or something for that?

 

they asked if i was a "runner" or something. i guess my body just goes dormant when sleeping LOL

 

That's not a Pensylvania thing. None of the states require trucking school. It's just the companies.

In fact, even if you've been to one, if you haven't driven in the last 6 months they make you go AGAIN. That's the problem and I think what you're going to find out. There's stories all over the board about this.
