When diabetic patients develop the combination of “diabetes plus hypertension”, it increases the burden on patients in three aspects: physical burden, difficulty of treatment, and financial cost of treatment. At the same time, the patient’s health risk increases significantly. It may accelerate the damage to target organs such as the kidneys and fundus.
Doctors remind that the blood vessels of diabetic patients are like aging water pipes. It is obvious that the risk of combined diabetes and hypertension is very high.
