Hypertension and DiabetesRecommendations of the American Diabetic

Association

• Treat to BP <130/80 mmHg

• All patients with diabetes and hypertension should be treated with a regimen that includes either an ACEi or an ARB.

• If needed to achieve blood pressure targets, a thiazide diuretic should be added.
