Abstract

Millions of people in our country have high blood pressure. High blood pressure has been shown to be a risk factor for the development of diabetes. Other risk factors for development of Diabetes are discussed. Blood pressure medications can also increase or decrease a patient's risk of developing diabetes. Beta-blockers (BB), such as atenolol, and thiazide diuretics appear to increase risk by as much as 31% compared to treatment with an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-I) and dihydropyridine class Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). Side effect profiles of common antihypertensive medications are discussed.
