Are you confusing blood pressure and blood sugar? My boyfriend is type 1 diabetic, he measures his blood sugar multiple times a day, but I have never seen him measure his blood pressure.

No- diabetes can have very negative long term impacts on your small blood vessels, particularly in your kidneys. Changes in blood pressure from vascular damage all over your body can be a signal that nephropathy (kidney disease) is not far away. It takes years to accumulate.
