Diabetes, Blood Pressure, and Your Diet
- Three quarters of adults with diabetes have high blood pressure.
- Changing your diet can lower blood pressure and reduce the need for medications.
- In persons without diabetes, diets proven to reduce blood pressure include diets that are low in sodium, and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.
- We are not yet sure how effective these dietary patterns are in people with diabetes.
- The DASH 4D research program uses a DASH-style diet that is adapted for people with diabetes.
- This program will determine how this diet, alone and in combination with lower sodium intake, will reduce blood pressure for people with diabetes.
