Key result
Chronic disease management program sustains blood pressure control over 2 years at ~132/76 mmHg.
Why the study?
The long-term blood pressure trajectory after a 1-year chronic disease management program focused on blood pressure reduction was uncertain.
Does a 1-year chronic disease management program maintain blood pressure reduction over 2 years in Status Indians with type 2 diabetes and persistent hypertension?
Comparison

Does a 1-year chronic disease management program maintain blood pressure reduction over 2 years in Status Indians with type 2 diabetes and persistent hypertension?
A 1-year chronic disease management program led to sustained blood pressure control over a subsequent 2-year follow-up period in a high-risk indigenous population.
Tobe et al. (2010) conducted an observational in type 2 diabetes and persistent hypertension (n=60). 1-year chronic disease management program was evaluated on change in systolic blood pressure over the follow-up period. Participants of a 1-year chronic disease management program maintained blood pressure control over 2 years of follow-up, with mean blood pressure changing from 130/76 mmHg to 132/76 mmHg.
