What is normal blood pressure for a teen diabetic????????

Question

I went to the grocery this morning and lately my insulin hasnt seem to be working on me (type 1 dibetic) because i havent exercised for like 3 days. So my sugars are constantly high and since last night i have been getting migrane headaches. I also take iron pills because im low on that as well. SO i keep on talking advil and all that but nothing seems to work and the migrane are terrible. So when i checked by blood pressure this morning it was systolic = 101 diastolic = 47 pulse - 63 .. but i really think that my diastolic is low and can my diabets be the cause??

Answer 1

Your diastolic is WAY low.  I think you got a false reading.

Normal is about 120/80.

Diabetics are normally high.  A GOOD reading for a diabetic is about 130/90, although the goal of diabetic treatment is to keep things as normal as possible.

I would say try it again, and it it is STILL low you should call your doctor to get an accurate reading.

EDIT:

Did you use one of those automated things in the grocery store?  You sound a little underweight, and maybe your arm didn't fit the cuff correctly.  That would casue an incorrect reading.
