[Treatment for hypertension with diabetes mellitus].
In the treatment for the hypertension patients with diabetes mellitus, the target blood pressure is below 130/80mmHg. As the first choice drugs, ARB, ACE inhibitor and Ca channel blocker are recommended. In the high normal blood pressure patient (130-139/80-89mmHg), the initial approach is life-style modification. In hypertension patients with diabetes (over 140/90mmHg), blood pressure should be controlled with the medication. The life-style modification should be performed even in the patients treated with anti-hypertensive drugs.
