Abstract

In the context of this research, clinicians should have a low threshold for diagnosing and treating even ‘pre-hypertension’ as the maintenance of strict blood pressure control can prevent or slow the development of many end-stage organ damages typically associated with diabetes. As is the classical teaching, the use of ACE inhibitors is a good first step. Although, calcium channel blockers may also be used, as can B-blockers and others for supplementary medication.
