Hi Thereafter 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 Chat Doctor. Hope to have been helpful. Kind Regards
