The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension drives the cardio-kidney-metabolic system into a vicious cycle. Therefore, intensive blood pressure control (IBP) is crucial for diabetic patients complicated with hypertension.Studies have shown that diabetic patients with hypertension have a significantly higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to normotensive diabetic individuals. These two conditions jointly accelerate the […]

Latest Study: Insufficient Blood Pressure Monitoring Is Strongly Associated with Poor Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease
A real-world study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, including more than 180,000 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), systematically analyzed the relationships between blood pressure levels, missing blood pressure recordings, cardiovascular outcomes, and all-cause mortality.Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the study established the largest […]
Latest Study: For Elderly Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease, Lower Blood Pressure Is Not Necessarily Safer
Against the background of population aging and a high prevalence of comorbid chronic diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and hypertension form an overlapping risk network in the elderly population, with cardiovascular disease remaining the leading cause of death in this group. Blood pressure control plays a key role in reducing […]
Correlation between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients
Studies have shown that nutritional status is an important predictor of mortality and morbidity in various diseases. Patients with malnutrition are more prone to vascular endothelial dysfunction and have a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Emerging evidence suggests that malnutrition may be a new risk factor in hypertensive patients. Previous studies have found that […]
Diabetics Should Not Ignore Blood Pressure Control
People with diabetes often have high blood pressure. If left uncontrolled, it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.Studies show that active treatment of high blood pressure can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, as well as the risk of microvascular complications.Therefore, people with diabetes should monitor their blood pressure […]
How Can People with Diabetes Control Their Blood Pressure Well?
In today’s fast-paced life, many middle-aged and elderly people suffer from chronic diseases. In particular, hypertension and diabetes are like two “health bombs” hidden in the body, quietly damaging our health. When these two conditions occur together, the situation becomes much more serious — it not only complicates the illness but also makes treatment far […]
How Do People with Diabetes Measure Blood Pressure Correctly?
People with diabetes should use a medical-grade electronic blood pressure monitor. Maintain a seated position with your arm at heart level, rest quietly for 5 minutes before measurement, avoid exercise, caffeine, or smoking, measure at a fixed time every week, and keep a record of the readings.Due to metabolic abnormalities, people with diabetes are prone […]
Pay Attention to Abnormal Blood Pressure to Prevent Diabetic Complications
Diabetes combined with high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of occurrence and progression of macrovascular and microvascular complications, as well as the risk of death in patients.Conversely, controlling high blood pressure can markedly reduce the risk of diabetic complications and cardiovascular events.For most patients with diabetes and hypertension, the blood pressure control target is […]
