DM-associated disproportional BP patterns in hypertension warrant caution in monitoring; leaves open causal renal links and need for prospective validation.
Does the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus affect the proportionality of nocturnal blood pressure variations in patients with arterial hypertension?

Kotovskaya et al. (2003) studied this question.
