Hypertension
Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects over 50 million people in the United States, and yet one-third of those with hypertension are unaware that they have it. Because hypertension of ten has no initial symptoms, it is important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
If you are diagnosed with hypertension, the RCMS Hypertension Team, consisting of your medical provider, Registered Nurse educators and a fitness consultant, will work with you in managing your high blood pressure through a treatment approach that includes exercise, diet and lifestyle changes.
Pre-Diabetes
When your blood sugar (glucose) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to
be diagnosed as diabetes, you could have pre-diabetes - a condition that affects an estimated 57 million Americans, or 1 in every 4 adults.
In many cases, following a healthy diet and losing weight can help reverse pre-diabetes and prevent it from developing into Type 2 diabetes. If you have pre-diabetes, the RCMS Diabetes Team will work with you to develop a personal healthy eating and activity plan.
