Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyperglycemia itself may also cause changes in vascular function and structure that lead to hypertension. However, the long-term effect of hyperglycemia on blood pressure is not known.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each kidney is made up of millions of tiny filters called nephrons. Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons so they don’t work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.

Detailed explanation-3: -High blood pressure can constrict and narrow the blood vessels, which eventually damages and weakens them throughout the body, including in the kidneys. The narrowing reduces blood flow. If your kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may no longer work properly.
