The Claim
Untreated individuals with mild essential hypertension exhibit significantly lower whole-body and femoral muscle glucose uptake compared to normotensive individuals during hyperinsulinemic conditions, indicating the presence of systemic and regional insulin resistance.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People with mild high blood pressure who aren't taking medicine don't process sugar as well in their muscles and body when insulin is high, which suggests their body is resisting insulin's effects.

What the research says
1 studyThe study shows that people with mild high blood pressure don’t process sugar in their muscles as well when insulin is high, just like the claim says.
