May is High Blood Pressure Awareness Month. That means it’s time to get checked to make sure your numbers are in the normal range. High blood sugar is called “the silent killer” because it essentially has no warning signs. About a third of the people that have it don’t even know.

The normal range of blood pressure is 120/80 or less. It’s recommended that lifestyle changes, like exercising and eating right, are done to lower blood sugar before going on medication.
