Having a high blood pressure (hypertension) reading that is above the normal blood pressure range is a concern for anyone, however people with diabetes are more likely to suffer from hypertension than most others. If you are obese and type 2 diabetic, then having high BP can be deadly leading to a fatal heart attack, or a stroke. Like many of the health risks associated with diabetes, ensuring good control of your blood sugars, eating a healthy diet and physical activity can help to keep your hypertension in check.
If you find yourself suffering from regular headaches, your vision is blurry, or you feel light headed or dizzy you may have hypertension. These symptoms are not just indicative of hypertension though and you should seek medical attention to determine the cause.
