Hypertension and diabetes.
Diabetes and hypertension will become increasingly common as the population becomes older and more obese. Together, they markedly increase cardiovascular and renal damage, placing all diabetic hypertensives at high risk. Fortunately, the appropriate use of lifestyle changes and multiple drugs will always slow and often stop the progression of this damage.
