Question
I would like to know the worse case senario physically and mentally if a person had diabetes, high blood preasure and had been drinking heavily for 2-3 weeks and eating only intermittantly.
HI Sue,
Alcoholism, diabetes and and high blood pressure all share insulin resistance as an underlying medical condition that is responsible for this cluster of symptoms. Please read:
