ASSESS for hypertension (≥130/80 mmHg)

TREAT to target <130/80 mmHg

USE multiple antihypertensive medications if needed

to achieve target (often necessary)

USE initial combination therapy if systolic blood

pressure >20 mmHg above target or diastolic blood

pressure >10 mmHg above target

BP >130/80 mm Hg

Confirmed on a second occasion in either the office,

home or by appropriate ambulatory measurement.

• Meta-analysis of 27 randomized trials showed

intense BP reduction (i.e., by 6/4.6 mmHg)

resulted in:

– 36% reduction in stroke

– 27% reduction in total mortality

– 25% reduction in major cardiovascular events

Summary of Pharmacotherapy for Hypertension in

Patients with Diabetes



1. Persons with diabetes mellitus should be treated to

attain a *SBP of <130 mmHg [Grade C, Level 3] and a **DBP

of <80 mmHg [Grade A, Level 1]. (These target BP levels

are the same as the BP treatment thresholds).

Combination therapy using two first-line agents may

also be considered as initial treatment of hypertension

[Grade C, Level 3] if SBP is 20 mmHg above target or if

DBP is 10 mmHg above target. However, caution

should be exercised in patients in whom a substantial

fall in BP is more likely or poorly tolerated (e.g., elderly

patients and patients with autonomic neuropathy)

*SBP= Systolic Blood Pressure

**DBP= Diastolic blood pressure

2013Recommendation 1



2. For persons with cardiovascular or kidney

disease, including microalbuminuria, or with

cardiovascular risk factors in addition to diabetes

and hypertension, an ACE inhibitor or an ARB is

recommended as initial therapy [Grade A, Level 1A]

3. For persons with DM and HTN not included in the

above recommendation, appropriate choices

include (in alphabetical order): ACE inhibitors [Grade A,

Level 1A], ARBs [Grade A, Level 1A], dihydropyridine CCBs

[Grade A, Level 1A], and thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics [Grade A, Level 1A].

Recommendations 2 and 3



4. If target BP levels are not achieved with standard-

dose monotherapy, additional antihypertensive

therapy should be used [Grade D, Consensus]. For

persons in whom combination therapy with an

ACE inhibitor is being considered, a

dihydropyridine CCB is preferable to

hydrochlorothiazide [Grade A, Level 1A]
