Diabetic and hypertension guidelines updated.
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.
