Re: Emergency Room Visit for High Blood Pressure: Need some help

  I know this is going to sound "not too bright", but I suggest that you visit you tube and watch a lecture by the name of "Sugar, the Bitter Truth" One of the things that sugar does is raise your BP,

Sugar does not raise blood sugar.  In diabetics the elevated insulin from injections or from the build up in the early stages of type 2 diabetes is what raises the blood pressure.

and it causes inflamation. since your glucose was high, I suggest this. After listening to that very informative lecture, I will no longer be eating sugar or it's pals. Robert H. Lustig is the name of the lecturer.

I have never seen any evidence that sugar increases inflammation either.  Inflammation is a result of hormones known as prostaglandins.  Various things can trigger prostaglandins such as arachidonic acid from meats,

Sugar does suppress immunity though by competing with vitamin C.  Therefore, the sugar suppresses white blood cell activity.
