does blood sugar dropping too low cause blood pressure to rise
"THERE IS some indication that reactive hypoglycemia may lead to high blood pressure. Ten years ago several studies linked high blood pressure to low blood sugar, and Wright says his experience has borne out the connection. As a matter of course, Wright runs the Glucose-Insulin Tolerance Test on all his patients with essential hypertension, which is the term for high blood pressure with no discernable cause. Wright has found that more than half of his essential hypertension patients have high blood insulin levels. Based on his experience that high insulin levels indicate the presence of hypoglycemia, Wright has treated these patients for low blood sugar, and he's found that patients' blood pressure invariably falls." from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0820/is_n229/ai_18612467/pg_2
