Having diabetes is a risk factor for developing hypertension.
Hypertension
It is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to serious health complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death. Blood pressure is the force that a person's blood exerts on the walls of his blood vessels.
Diabetes damages the small blood vessels in your body, causing the blood vessel walls to stiffen that increase blood pressure. High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes together can significantly increase the risk of heart attack or stroke and also cause hypertension.
