About the Author: 
These are the best stats that I could find after a search on the web:
Approximately 50 per cent of people with diabetes have high blood pressure and approximately eighteen million Americans have diabetes. So, that said, approximately 9 million have diabetes and hypertension.
Since diabetes, presently, has about 18,000,000 Americans in its clutches, that’s 6.3% of the US population or about one in every 16 people are diabetic. Hypertension affects about 50 million Americans–one in four adults.
In adults, total cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher are considered high risk. Levels from 200 to 239 mg/dL are considered borderline-high risk. 107 million, or 1 in 5 adults, has cholesterol levels above 200 mg/dL
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, has many serious consequences, especially for people with diabetes. It is estimated that about 50 million people in the United States have hypertension. Hypertension is twice as common in people with diabetes. About 3 million people in the United States have both hypertension and diabetes. Both hypertension and diabetes are more common among older persons.
Usually, unless the blood pressure is very high, there are no symptoms of hypertension, so many people do not know they have it. Untreated hypertension has a high risk of causing complications such as heart attack, stroke, irregular heart rhythm, heart failure, and kidney disease. Older persons with diabetes have higher rates of death at a younger age, disability, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. People with diabetes and hypertension have even a higher risk of developing these serious problems. Like diabetes, there is no cure for most types of hypertension — but it can be controlled. Lifestyle changes such as keeping to a low salt diet and exercising help control hypertension. Some people might also need to take medications.
Diagnosing Hypertension
Since hypertension usually has no symptoms, measuring blood pressure is the only way to diagnose it. Some people have high blood pressure only when it is measured in the health care provider’s office. This is known as “white coat hypertension,” meaning that their blood pressure is higher than usual due to the stress caused by the health care visit. For this reason, diagnosing actual high blood pressure depends on measuring it at least three different times, one-to-two weeks apart.
Blood pressure level is expressed by two numbers, such as 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). The ideal blood pressure for people with diabetes is 130/80 mmHg or lower. The top number is the systolic pressure (the pressure created when the heart muscle contracts). The bottom number is the diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes between beats).

Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body. It’s normal for blood pressure to go up and down throughout the day, but if it stays up, you have high blood pressure. Another name for high blood pressure is hypertension.
