Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern .
I would like to tell you that hypertension with type 1 diabetes is an indicative of diabetic nephropathy. Poorly controlled hypertension can significantly accelerate the development and progression of vascular complications.
Diabetic hypertensive patients with normal renal function require a combination drug to lower blood pressure
Kindly consult with your Endocrinologist/Cardiologist for further treatment.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
