Could be. Make an appt to see your nephrologist and have them regulate your blood pressure meds.
Your blood pressure will increase wit time if you have history of high blood pressure. Your blood pressure has to be between 125/80 and 130/85. That blood pressure will protect you for a cardiovascular event, stroke, and kidney problems.
The best medication, to treat high blood pressure in diabetics, is an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril, ramipril, etc. Talk to your Primary Care about your blood pressure control.
Yes, but it does not mean it's the only one reason. You should check your other condition, too.
