Does having high blood pressure automatically lead to developing diabetes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
BP and diabetes: No. There is a statistical link. Obesity leads to both hypertension and diabetes, but you can have one and not the other.

No: High blood blood pressure does not automatically lead to diabetes. Important risk factors for diabetes include blood relatives with diabetes, excess weight and some prescription medications.
