Hypertension Guidelines in Diabetes

Overview

"Hypertension guidelines in diabetes emphasize stricter blood pressure control to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. The target blood pressure for people with diabetes is generally less than 130/80 mm Hg. Treatment typically includes lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, weight management, and antihypertensive medications like ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which offer renal protection. Regular monitoring and individualized treatment plans are important for effective management.
