What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of your blood against the blood vessel walls. The recommended target for people with diabetes is less than 130/80 mm Hg. The top number is the pressure when your heart contracts and pushes blood out (systolic). The bottom number is the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats (diastolic).
There are often no signs of high blood pressure. This means that you may have high blood pressure and not know it.
