    Abstract:
    Risk assessment in the type 2 diabetic patients must take into account the major risk factors, particularly arterial hypertension which is commonly associated, increasing the risk for macrovascular and microvascular complications. The aim of this study is to determine whether ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides additional information to clinical (office) blood pressure measurement for the detection and control of hypertension in type 2 diabetic patients. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is more helpful than office blood pressure measurement for the evaluation of blood pressure levels. It is very valuable in type 2 diabetic patients for detecting autonomic dysfunction and elevated blood pressure load, which are associated with cardiovascular complications.
