Why diabetes is often associated with hypertension?

There is a phenomenon, diabetes and hypertension often "in cahoots" and endanger the physical and mental health patients. Why risk hypertensive patients with diabetes? In fact, the coexistence of diabetes and hypertension in clinical phenomenon is more common, a large number of clinical data shows that the incidence of hypertension in diabetic patients was significantly higher than normal, non-diabetic patients are more than twice, from 2 to adults type 2 diabetes Most of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension may have a common genetic material. In addition, the prevalence of type 2 diabetic patients with insulin resistance, resulting in elevated blood sugar, high blood sugar will be more stimulated insulin secretion of insulin, resulting in hyperinsulinemia. Excessive insulin can promote not only the tubular sodium reabsorption, cause sodium retention, but also stimulate the sympathetic nervous excitement, thereby enabling vasoconstriction, and increased peripheral resistance, elevated blood pressure naturally. More comprehensive role of a variety of factors, and ultimately will lead to the occurrence of hypertension. Modern medicine to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity and other metabolic disorders collectively known as the syndrome. Diabetic patients with hypertension not only small vascular lesions, but also macrovascular and prone to heart disease, kidney disease and accelerate retinopathy and the occurrence and development, increased mortality in patients with diabetes. Therefore, patients with diabetes should be regular monitoring of blood pressure, once found higher than normal blood pressure range, immediately directed under active treatment, efforts to control blood pressure 130/80 mm Hg in the following to minimize complications, which will diabetes , the coexistence of hypertension control hazards to a minimum extent.
