Target Blood Pressure Level in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: Evaluation of the Scientific Evidence
The review of the scientific evidence on the control of blood pressure (BP) in patients with diabetes mellitus is given. Their analysis suggests that the optimal level of blood pressure to prevent the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus is systolic blood pressure 130–135 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure — < 80 mmHg, and not < 140 mmHg, as it’s indicated in 2012 European Guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention.
