This disease is considered asa major risk factor for stroke and heart-issues, peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronickidney disease etc., that sometime lead to death of patient as well (An estimate of the prevalenceof hypertension in Nigeria: a systematic review and meta-analysis, 2015).

These people also suffer fromother health issues due to hypertension that includes cognitive impairment, obesity and diabetes. 2.2 Diabetic MellitusDiabetic Mellitus (DM) is the Type 2 diabetes which is chronic and debilitating diseaseand mainly characterised by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance and hyperglycemia(Danmusa and et. al., 2016).
