People with diabetes and high blood pressure are often given medicines that help relax blood vessels, remove extra salt and water from the body, and reduce pressure on the heart and kidneys. The right medicine depends on blood pressure levels, kidney health, age, and other medical conditions, so a doctor should decide the safest option after proper evaluation. Along with medicines, reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular walking, good blood sugar control, limiting alcohol, avoiding smoking, and managing stress are also important for long-term blood pressure control. Blood pressure and sugar levels should be checked regularly because uncontrolled hypertension in diabetes can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and eye problems. Seek medical advice if you develop chest pain, severe headache, swelling, dizziness, or very high blood pressure readings despite taking medicines regularly.
