With the current epidemic of diabetes in full swing and the recent emergence of exciting new hypoglycaemic agents, it is appropriate to bring together in this web focus diabetes-related articles that have appeared in the Journal of Human Hypertension over the past few years. Topics include optimal blood pressure targets and antihypertensive medication management in diabetes; the effects of newer agents on bloods pressure; vascular and cardiac function in diabetics; more results from the ACCORD trial; blood pressure variability and the development of diabetes; hypertension and diabetes in pregnancy; comparing hypertension with diabetes as cardiovascular risk factors; and the interaction of hypertension and diabetes in the induction of inflammation. We hope you enjoy this veritable potpourri of high quality papers exploring diverse issues but sharing in common the inter-relationship of derangements in blood pressure and blood glucose control.
