Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and hypertension (HT) are two of the most common chronic noncommunicable diseases and multifactorial disorders afflicting both industrialised and developing countries, including India. Despite the fact that DM and HT are not among the most common causes of death, such as cancer and stroke, the public's attention is drawn to them as their rates rise. In diabetics, hypertension increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, nephropathy, and retinopathy. When HT coexists with DM, the risk of CVD increases by 75%, contributing to an already high-risk population's overall morbidity and death. The bulk of diabetics and hypertensive people in the world live in India. Increased public awareness and proper government measures are required to address this. The current review article examines HT and DM comorbidity, as well as the current situation in India. To avoid microvascular and macrovascular morbidity and mortality, both hypertension and diabetes should be detected early and actively managed.
