Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertensive Disease

This session lays a useful foundation for subsequent sessions on type 2 Diabetes and cardio-renal disease by examining the management of high blood pressure in a variety of clinical circumstances. It provides an overview of hypertensive disease and contextualises evidence-based treatment guidelines relevant to the management of this commonly occurring condition. The session focuses eventually on precise implications of high blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and discusses treatment guidelines directly applicable to this diverse and vulnerable group of patients.
