Hello,
Please note that the headache may be due to high Blood Pressure (BP) as the diabetics are prone to develop high BP after few years as per some studies.
So, go for BP checking if BP above 140/90 at more than three occasions, then you have to take tablet Telmisartan. Or it may be the result of side effects of antidiabetics you are taking .you can discuss this aspect with your treating physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
