Do blood pressure targets lower than standard targets improve outcomes in people with elevated blood pressure and diabetes?
Current evidence does not support lowering blood pressure targets below standard levels for patients with diabetes and hypertension.
At the present time, evidence from randomized trials does not support blood pressure targets lower than the standard targets in people with elevated blood pressure and diabetes. More randomized controlled trials are needed, with future trials reporting total mortality, total serious adverse events as well as cardiovascular and renal events.
