Dear sir.. Greetings from HCM ... As you rightly pointed out YES it could be a secondary hypertension with diabetes ... Cortisol could be responsible for both .. Pls get properly evaluated with serum cortisol levels at morning time .. In adduction ultrasound abdoman even CT for pituitary ... for ruling out Cushing s disease or Cushing syndrome ... If the cause is treated he will be alright .. Do contact us with reports .. Thank you
