Diabetes is often associated with hypertension why?

There is a phenomenon, diabetes and hypertension often "in cahoots" and endanger the physical and mental health of patients. Diabetic patients are susceptible to hypertension? In fact, diabetes and hypertension in both clinical phenomenon is more common, a large number of clinical information, Diabetic patients the incidence of hypertension was significantly higher than normal, non-diabetic patients are more than twice, adults suffering from type 2 diabetes styles, type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension may have a common genetic material. In addition, patients with type 2 diabetes commonly insulin resistance, leading to increased glucose; Hyperglycemia will stimulate more insulin secretion of insulin, resulting in hyperinsulinemia. Excessive insulin can not only promote tubular sodium reabsorption, cause sodium retention, but also stimulate the sympathetic nervous excitement. thereby enabling vasoconstriction, and increased peripheral resistance, elevated blood pressure naturally. These many factors, will ultimately lead to the incidence of hypertension. Modern medicine put diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and other metabolic disorders collectively known as syndrome. Diabetic patients with hypertension there is not only small vascular lesions, but also to macrovascular disease, extreme cardio - cerebral vascular diseases, as well as speeding up of kidney diseases and the incidence of retinopathy and development increased mortality in patients with diabetes. Therefore, patients with diabetes should be regular monitoring of blood pressure if it is found that the blood pressure higher than the normal range, immediately prescribed under active treatment, efforts to control blood pressure 130 / 80 mm Hg below minimize its complications, which would put diabetes, hypertension control both the harm to the smallest extent.
