I share your sister's problems, although my BP is not very high. In addition, I (recently) became vegan, but this was after 6 1/2 years of being near-vegan. As far as on-line resources are concerned, your sister would do very well to have start with anything posted by Rick Mendosa. Start with www.mendosa.com He writes extensively on diabetes, and any diet plan that helps with diabetes will also help with high BP. Your concern for your sister's well-being is admirable, but please remeber that she must be responsible for her own health and well-being. This is particularly the case for a diabetic. If she doesn't. then I understand your frustration, as my sister is also diabetic (as were our father, one aunt and one grandmother) and none of us can even broach the subject with her without being told to mind our own business. However, please remember that high blood sugar, itself, can increase irritability.
