Don't know if this is relevant to your question, but I just went thru a C&P for Diabetes, and the doctor told me that hypertension was a by product of the diabetes, and as a result put a claim in for me. If nothing else, maybe some veterans with diabetes and hypertension can use the information. Further, ED and neuropathy of the intenstines is relevant to the diabetes proble and can also be claimed. Good Luck!!!
