   Yes, extreme thirst or hunger and frequent urination are cardinal signs of diabetes. Hypertension, however, is called "the silent killer" for a reason. Most will never show any physical symptoms of high blood pressure. Some may get a mild headache. The only way to diagnose hypertension is to have your BP checked regularly.

   yes I believe so it happens because your body is trying to lower glucose level in blood by passing it to urine and it uses water to solve the glucose resulting in frequent urination and dehydration

   drink plenty of water

   "Values above 200 mg/dl (10 mmol/l) are often accompanied by discomfort and frequent urination leading to dehydration." >>>> for diabetes mellitus

   "This diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating increased urinary excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine and/or their metabolites" >>>> hypertension

   Yes. Both conditions can cause frequent urination, but each following different pathways.
   For diabetes mellitus, the excessive sugar in the blood causes fluids in the surrounding tissues of the small blood vessels to influx into the blood stream causing increased blood volume. The increased volume is then sensed by the body’s sensors, thereby making the kidneys work harder at disposing the excess fluid as urine.
   Hypertension may be due to increased plaque build up inside the wall of the arteries or it may be due to increased muscle tone of the arterial musculature causing them to constrict. These reasons leads to increased blood pressure or the term hypertension. The increased pressure is sensed by an area in the brain, which then signals several instructions to lower the blood pressure, and one of them is to encourage the kidneys to excrete more urine to decrease the pressure within the blood vessel walls.
