I just had my annual physical, and all my bloodwork is
great: A1C (I'm a Type 2 diabetic) 4.9, HDL 83, LDL
65, Triglycerides <45....but my blood pressure is
running way high: 188/110.  Definitely unacceptable.

I've been eating low-carb - with occasional lapses -
for 3 years, mostly paleo for the last year, I think,
and I guess it works as far as sugar and lipids, but
what can I do about my blood pressure?  And since I'm
doing everything else right, what could be going
wrong?

I exercise an average of an hour a day, I've cut back
on caffeine (2 cups of black tea a day or equivalent),
occasionally use sausage or other preserved meats but
don't add salt to my food.  Any ideas what to change?

Andrea
