title: Diabetic and hypertension guidelines updated.
abstract: The guidelines are clear. We need optimal control of blood pressure and lipid profiles. Diabetics need particular aggressive risk reduction. No risk factor should be managed in isolation--overall risk reduction is essential. We have a job to do and must do it thoroughly--we now need a programme of early detection and that needs political will and investment.
