How do diabetes and high blood pressure effect each other?
Master P-Rice asked:
Almost daily, I am dizzy and have blurred vision. It is during the morning hours that it is the worst. I don’t have the other symptoms (thirst and frequent urination) of diabetes, however. Recently, my blood pressure has been higher (160/110), during the morning hours, than usual. Though, it isn’t high every morning I feel dizzy and have blurred vision.

Diabetes and high blood pressure are definitely connected. Exercise and the elimination of high carbohydrate foods from the diet would be the first important step to take.
The combination of diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, has been called The Metabolic Syndrome.

You might consider finding a doctor that will focus on lifestyle factors rather than drugs since diabetes 2 and high blood pressure are very much connected to obesity, diet and exercise.
Best of luck to you.
