How diabetes mellitus cause hypertension?

My father has both diabetes and high blood pressure, and I'm trying to understand how these conditions are related to each other. Our doctor explained some things but I still have questions. Can anyone explain how diabetes mellitus can cause hypertension?

Humare doctor sahib ne bataya tha ki jab khoon me chini badh jaati hai, toh vo naso ko sakht aur kamzor kar deti hai. Isse dil ko khoon saaf karne me zyada zor lagana padta hai aur BP badh jata hai. Aap roz subah thoda ghumne jaya karo aur namak-chini dono kam kiya karo.

Haan, ye dono toh bilkul bhai-behen jaise hain, ek hota hai toh doosra aa hi jata hai. High sugar se blood vessels block hone lagti hain aur blood pressure high ho jata hai. Isliye sugar aur BP dono ka test har mahine karana zaroori hai, na?

I got diabetes in my 40s and high BP followed soon after because I was careless with my diet back then. When sugar levels remain high, it puts immense pressure on your kidneys and blood vessels, leading to hypertension. But don't worry, with proper medication and daily walks, both can be managed easily.

I was reading about this the other day and apparently, excess glucose damages the lining of your arteries and makes them stiff. This stiffness makes it harder for blood to flow smoothly, which naturally raises your blood pressure. It is really eye-opening how closely linked diabetes and hypertension are.

High sugar levels se humari blood vessels damage hoti hain, ho na. Is wajah se arteries narrow ho jaati hain aur blood pressure badhta hai. Mere chacha ko bhi dono takleef hai, isliye lifestyle dhyan rakhna bohot zaroori hai.
