Chronic diseases, particularly diabetes and hypertension, are among the leading causes of health complications in the U.S. Managing these conditions effectively requires a dedicated approach that includes regular monitoring, lifestyle changes, and medical interventions. At AMA Clinic Lynn, we specialize in providing patients with personalized care that addresses both diabetes and hypertension, helping you stay on top of your health.
Understanding Diabetes and Hypertension: Why They Matter
Both diabetes and hypertension are long-term conditions that can lead to severe complications if left untreated:
Diabetes occurs when your body either cannot produce insulin or cannot use it effectively, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Over time, uncontrolled diabetes can damage your heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) is often called the "silent killer" because it may not show obvious symptoms but can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health problems.
Many patients struggle with both conditions simultaneously, and managing one can significantly help in controlling the other. Diabetes and hypertension are closely linked, and controlling one often positively affects the other.
