SMBP may detect masked uncontrolled hypertension missed by clinic BP in T2DM; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does self-monitored blood pressure accurately reflect clinic blood pressure and identify uncontrolled hypertension in patients with Type 2 diabetes?
Self-monitored blood pressure can identify masked uncontrolled hypertension in patients with Type 2 diabetes that is missed by standard clinic measurements.
