Hypertension and diabetes

Hypertension is the UK’s single most common medical condition and there is no greater evidence-base in clinical practice for the management of hypertension. Hypertension is also an important risk factor for the development and worsening of many complications of diabetes, including diabetic eye disease and kidney disease. Most people with diabetes develop high blood pressure during their life and having diabetes increases your risk of developing high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.
