Why is hypertension a risk factor for diabetes?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypertension might not cause Diabetes directly but increases the risk. People with high blood pressure usually have insulin resistance leading to Diabetes compared to those with typical blood pressure.

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure. For the past two weeks, it's been extremely high, like in the Hypertensive Crisis range, reaching 190130 or 180120, even though I'm taking Telma CT 40. My test results, like the Echo, LFT, and KFT, are all normal. Why is my blood pressure still so high? What could be causing this?
It's concerning that your blood pressure remains high despite taking Telma CT 40. Since your test reports are normal, the high blood pressure may be due to uncontrolled hypertension or other underlying factors. In this situation, adding Amlodipine 5mg along with Telma CT 40 can help in better control of blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also play a crucial role in managing hypertension. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential.
