hello everyone the reason i am posting today is i have a few concerns about my health and diabetes.first let me give you all a little background, i am a 25 year old male who weighs 165 lbs i was Dx'd last june and have been on levimir and recently started glimiperide twice a day i have pretty good control over my blood sugars.Now recently i have been having high blood pressure in the neigboorhood of 140-150 over 90-80 i have been under some stress lately with school (pre-med) and been having some problems with my Girlfriend.i also have been drinking a bit of beer (miller lite) now my doctor seems to think if i cut the beer out my blood pressure will go down wich is true,but i am wondering if it isnt somthing mroe serious like my kidneys. generally if i were having complications with my kidneys what would the symptoms be besides high blood pressure? i urinate Normal,not excessively and not too infrequently as well,my urine is of normal color not dark at all.

its been in the back of my head for a lil while now and generally am concerned with my health as i do not want to die young. i am going to my doc tomorrow morning for a blood test to check my A1c and will also tell me if there are kidney or liver problems,a year ago i had this same bloodwork done and there were no kidney or liver problems everything looked Great except my A1c wich at the time was around 11 becuase i was just Dx'd.

i have good energy i am not too tired all the time and feel OK.
i do not urinate any ketones and eat pretty healthy.

what does everyone think?
