Type II diabetes increases the chances of developing hypertension. Excess blood glucose levels damage the blood vessels. First, the elasticity of the blood vessels decreases and afterwards, a progressive narrowing of the arteries occurs. The narrowing of the vessels impedes blood flow and leads to hypertension.
