- 摘要：
Diabetics are more likely to suffer from hypertension than non-diabetics. Factors that may contribute to the increased prevalence of hypertension in diabetics include: (i)
Obesity
(ii)Insulin resistance
(iii)Renal disease (i. e. diabetic nephropathy).
More than two thirds of diabetic patients have hypertension with a resultant sevenfold increase in mortality. Hypertensive diabetics with nephropathy have a 37-fold increase in mortality! The major problem in diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, is an increase in cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is also an important contributor to cardiovascular disease in diabetics.
