  Diabetes Testing Glucose is the primary energy source for the body's cells and the only energy source for the brain and nervous system. A steady supply must be available for use, and a relatively constant level of glucose must be maintained in the blood. Basic Glucose Test It is important to get tested in order to determine if your blood glucose level is within a healthy range; to screen for and diagnose diabetes and prediabetes and to monitor for high blood glucose or low bl...ood glucose. In general, it is recommended that you have nothing to eat or drink except water for at least 8 hours before having a blood glucose test. Diabetes Profile This profile provides an in-depth look at your blood sugar level. If you have diabetes, it means that you have too much glucose in your blood. This profile includes the HbA1C test which provides a comprehensive look at your blood sugar levels during the past three months. There is no preparation for this test. Recommended For: Anyone who wants a comprehensive snapshot of blood sugar control. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to serious health problems if it is not managed properly. A normal HbA1C level typically ranges from 4.5 to 6 percent. If your result is 5.7 to 6.4 percent, this is considered pre-diabetes and indicates you have a high risk of developing diabetes in the future. A level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests often indicates a diabetes diagnosis.

  Uncontrolled high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) can be fatal. If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, these simple steps can help you keep it under control:

  Know your numbers

  Most people diagnosed with high blood pressure want to stay below 130/80 mm Hg, but your healthcare provider can tell you your personal target blood pressure.

  ...

  Make a few lifestyle changes

  In many cases this will be your doctor’s first recommendation, likely in one of these areas:

  Maintain a healthy weight. Strive for a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9. Eat healthier. Eat lots of fruit, veggies and low-fat dairy, and less saturated and total fat. Reduce sodium. Ideally, stay under 1,500 mg a day, but aim for at least a 1,000 mg per day reduction. Get active. Aim for at least 90 to 150 minutes of aerobic and/or dynamic resistance exercise per week and/or three sessions of isometric resistance exercises per week. Limit alcohol. Drink no more than 1-2 drinks a day. (One for most women, two for most men.) Keep checking your blood pressure at home

  Take ownership of your treatment by tracking your blood pressure.

  Take your medication

  If you have to take medication, take it exactly the way your doctor says.

  WHAT IS CHOLESTEROL ?

  Cholesterol is both good and bad. At normal levels, it is an essential substance for the body. However, if concentrations in the blood get too high, it becomes a silent danger that puts people at risk of heart attack. Cholesterol is found in every cell of the body and has important natural functions when it comes to digesting foods, producing hormones, and generating vitamin D.

  ...

  There are two types of cholesterol; LDL (low-density lipoproteins, bad cholesterol) and HDL (high-density lipoproteins, good cholesterol).

  LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of your arteries and increase your chances of getting heart disease. That is why LDL cholesterol is referred to as "bad" cholesterol. The lower your LDL cholesterol number, the lower your risk.

  When it comes to HDL cholesterol -- "good" cholesterol - a higher number means lower risk. This is because HDL cholesterol protects against heart disease by taking the "bad" cholesterol out of your blood and keeping it from building up in your arteries.

  It's important to your health to know your cholesterol levels and if you're at risk for high cholesterol to take the appropriate action to keep these level under control.

  Four changes to lifestyle are recommended for all people with high cholesterol or who wish to ensure their levels remain normal. These changes will reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack: • eat a heart-healthy diet • regularly exercise • avoid smoking • achieve and maintain a healthy weight
