When you have diabetes, you have to control the amount of sugar and carbohydrates that you ingest, this is because the pancreas either produces no insulin, or not enough. If the pancreas is producing a ;little insulin you can be diet controlled. If your pancreas is not producing any insulin you need to inject it before eating and moderate the food intake to match the insulin, this can only be done by the doctor and dietitian. You need to stick very strictly to a diet to help prevent problems with heart disease and blindness etc. With hypertension you need to be on a low fat diet, also low salt. Low salt because salt makes high blood pressure worse, low fat because the more obese you are the higher your bp, High bp can cause heart disease, strokes etc. Exercise is always good because it gets the circulation moving.
