2. FIGURE
A suggested approach to achieve blood pressure goal in patients with diabetes. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m2 generally responds well to thiazide diuretics. Chlorthalidone is the suggested thiazide-like diuretic because it is the diuretic used in clinical trials and forms the basis for the cardiovascular outcomes data. Vasodilating β-blockers have a better tolerability profile and fewer metabolic consequences compared with older agents such as atenolol. ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; CCB = calcium channel blocker.
