I'm a 20 year old female.. I have high blood pressure and I've been taking medication for 2 years now. But recently I've had 2 Doctors tell me that my BLOOD SUGAR was fine, ( was 80 on one test and 96 on another ) But, my insulin LEVEL was too high.

So they wanted to put me on meds. I dont think that is right.. I couldnt find anyone to explain to me how your insulin is high but sugar is fine? And wouldnt putting on meds cause both to drop then I would have low blood sugar.. Please any advice is helpful.

High levels of insulin cause several problems: one of them is high blood pressure. One of the roles of insulin is to assist the storing of excess nutrients. Insulin plays a role in storing magnesium. But if your cells become resistant to insulin, you can't store magnesium so you lose it through urination. Intra-cellular magnesium relaxes muscles. What happens when you can't store magnesium because the cell is resistant? You lose magnesium and your blood vessels constrict. This causes an increase in blood pressure.

Insulin also causes the retention of sodium, which causes fluid retention, which causes high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.

Sounds like they are trying to tell you that you are "insulin resistant". Please search for info and learn all you can. Exercise is very important in overcoming insulin resistance. Also, lose weight if you are overweight. Make changes in your diet, consume more non-starch vegetables and lean meat and leave junk food alone, limit or omit starches and sweets. Portion control of the right choices of foods will help.

Avoiding white foods, that is, rice, pizza, bread, potatoes, gravy, etc. will help. Omit desserts.

Your doctors should give you the opportunity to do the above before resorting to meds.

Congratulations on your recent marriage - may you have many happy years together.

I believe you are referring to hyperinsulinemia - this is a condition which is sometimes caused by tumor in the pancreas, or other pancreatic anomalies.

The fact that you have good blood sugar levels and excessive insulin means that your pancreas is working overtime to keep your blood sugar down because you have insulin resistance. This is the essential element of Type 2 diabetes as well. Your cells are requiring more insulin than they should to
metabolize food.

Your doctor wants to treat this condition by prescribing medicines which go after the underlying cause, as he/she more fully diagnoses it. The reason is because the long-term effects of hyperinsulinemia (over years of time) are atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and heart disease. Your high blood pressure is another prime risk factor for the same set of diseases. You can significantly lower your risk for these unfortunate outcomes by following your doctor's advice and keeping your insulin levels lower.

See your doctor often, and monitor your condition closely.
