Hypertension might not cause Diabetes directly but increases the risk. People with high blood pressure usually have insulin resistance leading to Diabetes compared to those with typical blood pressure.

Question

I've had an angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent placed back in March, and I'm currently on medication. I'm really wondering if it's okay for me to have alcohol socially. I used to enjoy whiskey about twice a week before all of this. Can you give me some advice on whether that's still safe?
