Not related: Medical conditions such as you describe of diabetes or high blood pressure are not related to increased risks of breast cancer. Women with medical conditions would have the same risks as other women for breast cancer. Genetics, young age at first menstrual cycle, older age at first childbirth, prolonged exposure to hormone medications, obesity can be risk factors for breast cancer.

Normal risk: These should not increase her risk of developing breast cancer. If she develops obesity however, this will increase her risk.
