Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are both common diseases, especially with an increasingly aged population. Hypertension accelerates the development of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and peripheral vascular disease in the diabetic patient. Diabetes represents a type of premature aging and hypertension in the diabetic patient is characterized by many of the same pathophysiologic properties seen in the elderly hypertensive patient.Entities:
