high blood pressure

Am wondering what UHC will consider a comorbidity....I have high blood pressure (last reading is 154/100, but I've never been on medication. It does come down with exercise and weight loss, but I've never been consistent with either, so I've been battling for 10 years now and it keeps creeping a little higher each year. I'm afraid because I hav not been on medication they will deny me. I'm also at extremely high risk for diabetes as my mother and her entire family are diabetic and I share her genetic make-up.  Lastly, my bmi is 36 so I suspect I'll have to really make the case - I have supervised physician diet and diet attempts spanning 3 decades. Advice is greatly appreciated as I'm somewhat obsessed with getting the surgery. Will pay if I have to but am praying I don't have to -

Have you ever been tested for diabetes?  In addition to establishing a pretty ironclad comorbidity, diabetes is such a vicious disease, the sooner you get diagnosed, the better. Good luck!
