Measure blood pressure at every routine diabetes visit (C) If patients have systolic blood pressure \u2265130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \u226580 mmHg (C) Confirm blood pressure on a separate day. Repeat systolic blood pressure \u2265130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \u226580 mmHg confirms a diagnosis of hypertension. Hypertension is a common comorbidity of diabetes that affects the majority of patients, with prevalence depending on type of diabetes, age, obesity, and ethnicity. Hypertension is a major risk factor for both CVD and microvascular complications. In type 1 diabetes, hypertension is often the result of underlying nephropathy, while in type 2 diabetes it usually coexists with other cardiometabolic risk factors. This slide and the following six slides summarize recommendations for screening and diagnosis, goals, and treatment for hypertension/blood pressure control in patients with diabetes. Slide 1 of 7 \u2013 Screening and Diagnosis. Blood pressure should be measured at every routine diabetes visit (C) Patients found to have systolic blood pressure \u2265130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \u226580 mmHg should have blood pressure confirmed on a separate day (C) Repeat systolic blood pressure \u2265130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \u226580 mmHg confirms a diagnosis of hypertension (C) ADA.
