Major issue with diabetes high blood pressure to get our would be affected both of them are risk for the development of our great scorer. Lining of the arteries getting. So therefore there -- a heart attack. Stroke and he is -- all accentuated. Fairly dramatically. And individuals both high blood pressure or diabetes for having either of those a little. --"

" Like more and more people know someone or have a translator who has had diabetes and hypertension. Are there are some people that are more susceptible to these conditions and other."

" We got I think we've got you use of race. And inheritance pattern they -- what we see in diabetes. Also how we gain weight is a very important risk factors so people who were eighteen. Tends to -- around the the Tommy. And really help a much greater degree of developing diabetes."

One had to everything you habit what you can do about it you know there's a lot of options. I think it depends on how it here it is what it is for diagnose. And what -- actually you're wrong so if you happen to high blood -- no other morbidity that is not. Not are no evidence of stroke no cholesterol problems don't amount in that instance I I think there's a rule -- For non drug therapy that is using -- side.
