Many people have high blood pressure, but not everyone is aware of it.
According to the Food Standard Agency 1 out of 3 inhabitants of England, both
men and women, have too high blood pressure.
Besides, a great number of people have blood pressure that falls just below a
too high blood pressure, but with aging they are confronted with a too high blood
pressure. In our western society this is the very fast growing group of ‘pre-hypertension
patients’.
Likewise there are also special risk groups with a higher cardio-vascular risk,
where a too high blood pressure must certainly be avoided. Therefore it is very
important to control the blood pressure of diabetic patients.
