Needless to say i was ecstatic! Really tried hard to get those numbers and was good to see a reward. <\/p>\n<p>Was all cheerfull till they did my blood pressure, now i&#8217;ve always had a lowish blood pressure i remember about 3 months ago when i took it i was 104 over something low. I can&#8217;t remember the exact numbers but it was a decent BP.<\/p>\n<p>I hopped on the machine at clinic and i did a 135 \/ 70. I saw this, more or less S!!! myself and then when they did a retest my BP went up and up till i was getting them in the 150 \/ 70 range. <\/p>\n<p>Next day i went to do it at one of those machines in the pharmacy and got a 130 \/ 70 after calming myself down at the inital reading of 150 \/ 70. <\/p>\n<p>Then today after the same procedure of getting a 150 \/ 70 to start with got 1 122\/70 which is more or less OK. <\/p>\n<p>But i&#8217;m still worried and will carry on doing my BP every day for the next week.<\/p>\n<p>Can somebody tell me if this is common and could whether it could be related to my diabetes? <br \/>\nAlso i&#8217;ve been having lows more frequently recently as im coming out of puberty i have a feeling my insulin requirements are all over the place and im getting a lot of BS in the low 3&#8217;s (50&#8217;s &#8211; 60&#8217;s) . <\/p>\n<p>Thanks a lott<br \/>\nAlex<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, Sorry i&#8217;l try not to write too much!
