Abstract
Accumulated evidences suggest that reduction in blood pressure may reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetes patients. However, the optimal blood pressure level to which blood pressure should be reduced in diabetes patients have not reached an agreement and significant controversy has surrounded this topic in these years. After reviewing the data from observational studies and clinical trials, we compared the similarities and differences of recommendations about blood pressure target for people with diabetes and hypertension. Based on our study about the 10 years effects of different blood pressure levels on cardiovascular disease events among Chinese adults with different glucose metabolism, we analyzed the critical factors on conducting randomized controlled trials concerning optimal blood pressure level among patients with diabetes or prediabetes. Key words: Diabetes; Prediabetes; Hypertension; Randomized controlled trial
