    High blood pressure can also cause these symptoms. You should see a doctor.

    I you have high blood pressure, you will also feel dizzy and have blurred vision. I am just wondering how well controlled your blood sugars are. If blood sugars are not well controlled, it can lead to blindness or it can lead to diabetic neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy.

    If you are diabetic with a history of high blood pressure. You are very much prone to have kidney insufficiency. I advise you to see your physician. Get your blood sugar and blood pressure controlled thus further complications won’t arise. I am so worried with what you are experiencing. I am a renal nurse and I have loads of patients who are diabetics with high blood pressure who in the end lead to have renal failure. Have yourself checked.

    that means the sugar in your body is getting threw your eyes so thats why you need to take insulin if you have one then it won’t bother you in the morning okay.

    Hi
    Diabetes and high blood pressure are definitely connected. Exercise and the elimination of high carbohydrate foods from the diet would be the first important step to take.

    The combination of diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, has been called The Metabolic Syndrome.

    Some links that might help:

    Highly recommended book by Dr. Bernstein on controlling blood sugar:

    All about high blood pressure at the Life Extension Foundation website. Use the pull-down menu “Select Health Concerns” to look up diabetes and other conditions:

    Free online nutrition plan that will help both conditions at Dr. Mercola’s site:

    You might consider finding a doctor that will focus on lifestyle factors rather than drugs since diabetes 2 and high blood pressure are very much connected to obesity, diet and exercise.

    Best of luck to you.
