Clinical recommendation
The target blood pressure in patients with diabetes is less than 130/80 mm Hg.
ACE inhibitors and ARBs are preferred agents in the management of patients with hypertension
and diabetes.
If target blood pressure is not achieved with an ACE inhibitor or ARB, addition of a thiazide
diuretic is the preferred second-line therapy for most patients with diabetes.
Beta blockers should be used as part of the initial antihypertensive regimen in patients with
diabetes and a history of myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery disease, or stable
angina.
Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers should be reserved for patients with diabetes who
cannot tolerate preferred antihypertensive agents or those who need additional agents to
achieve target blood pressure.
Most patients with diabetes require therapy with a combination of antihypertensive agents to
achieve target blood pressure.

Pharmacologic Therapy
ACE INHIBITORS
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors prevent or delay microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes and are recommended as first-line
antihypertensive agents in patients with diabetes.2,8,9
ACE inhibitors delay progression of diabetic kidney
disease7-9 and are more effective than other
medications in delaying the onset of kidney
