I have been taking many types of blood pressure medication since 1985. I was changed from many medications to treat hypertension due to I was in the Military. After retiring from the U.S. Army I was prescribed many more medications to treat my hypertension. This was do to the numerous different doctors I was treated by at the Veterans Administration. I was diagnose at a type 2 diabetic in 2005. I am trying to find answers to see if my continuous treatment or lack of proper treatment might have caused my diabetes. I have heard that hypertension and diabetes run hand in hand. If so, was I going to get diabetes no matter what after all these years of hypertension? Or if my hypertension had been treated properly, would I not be suffering from diabetes now. Thank You for any information you can provide. I have checked numerous sources on the internet and have not gotten the answers I am looking for. Thanks
