  ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are two of the most prevalent diseases affecting individuals across all age groups. Both conditions are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, retinopathy, and neuropathy. The study highlights that diabetes damages arteries and blood vessels, elevating the risk of heart attack and kidney failure. The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension exacerbates these complications, underscoring the importance of managing both conditions simultaneously. The study also focuses on Metformin, a well-established medication for treating type 2 diabetes. Recognized as one of the most effective treatment options, Metformin enhances blood glucose management by increasing insulin sensitivity, reducing insulin levels, and improving insulin action. This makes it a crucial drug for controlling diabetes efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, the findings indicate that diabetes predominantly affects individuals in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to higher mortality rates. The analysis of peer-reviewed journals and articles suggests that diabetes is a chronic disease with severe implications if preventive measures are not promptly implemented. Immediate action is necessary to mitigate the impact of diabetes and improve global health outcomes.
