if the worst case is true... you have hypertension & pre-diabetes.. if you can catch it and treat it now, you can probably reverse both conditions. if you wait until you are symptomatic, alot of irreversilble damage may have been done.
See, I know I should get checked out. I don't want to end up having to get shit amputated because I didn't act quick enough. You're a doctor, though, so you know how stupid guys like me can be. If I'm not gushing arterial blood (or bleeding from the ear like happened a couple of years ago), I am reluctant to see the doctor.
