Not sure about Aneurysm but Stroke is on this list:-

Complications of diabetes

High blood sugar levels can seriously damage parts of your body, including your feet and your eyes. These are called diabetes complications.

Can't imagine it's at all common, so all you can do is live healthy and keep Hba1c low and i wouldn't even give it a second thought.
 
I don’t know @Admiral Benbow but it’s not something I’ve heard:

Brain aneurysm - Causes

Brain aneurysms are caused by a weakness in the walls of blood vessels in the brain. There are several reasons why this may happen, although an exact cause isn't always clear.

I do not believe aneurysms are really understood. Two people I know have had aneurysms. One was an aortic and he was one of the 1% to survive outside hospital as paramedics were literally around the corner. The other had one behind the knee and lost his leg which is how I met him. All you can do is love healthily with zero smoking or vaping, and keep alcoholic the guidelines.
 
Hypertension, smoking, family history, ethnicity seem to be the main risk factors.
