Blood pressure lowering improves mortality and clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly when baseline blood pressure is 140 mm Hg or higher.
Abstract
Among patients with type 2 diabetes, BP lowering was associated with improved mortality and other clinical outcomes with lower RRs observed among those with baseline BP of 140 mm Hg and greater. These findings support the use of medications for BP lowering in these patients.
