A diabetic with A1c 6% had a BP of 130/88 mmHg.
Dr Bad: Very good control of diabetes.
Dr Good: Very good control but we also need to control BP.
Lesson: Cardiovascular morbidity can only be reduced with aggressive management of hypertension, cholesterol (LDL less than 100 mg/dL) and aspirin (75 to 150 mg/day) in patients with or at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
