Why the study?
Do specific blood pressure ranges (SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP <70 mmHg) increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes?
Do specific blood pressure ranges (SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP <70 mmHg) increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes?
In patients with advanced type 2 diabetes, both SBP ≥140 mmHg and DBP <70 mmHg are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, suggesting DBP <70 mmHg should be avoided even when SBP is controlled.

Alerts to elevated CVD risk with this BP pattern in advanced T2D; leaves open whether DBP targets warrant adjustment in trials.
