Antihypertensives including ACE inhibitors, ARBs help in diabetes prevention

Published On 2021-11-19 10:44 GMT | Update On 2021-11-19 10:44 GMT

Diabetes affects about 9% of the adult population worldwide, with a rising prevalence in many regions. In a recent study, researchers of the University of Bristol reported that blood pressure lowering is an effective strategy for the prevention of new-onset type 2 diabetes. They also reported that specific blood pressure-lowering medications reduce the onset risk of diabetes. The study findings were published in the journal The Lancet on November 13, 2021.

Blood pressure-lowering is an established strategy for preventing microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. However, its role in the prevention of diabetes itself is unclear. Therefore, Prof Kazem Rahimi, FRCP and his team conducted a study to examine this question using individual participant data from major randomised controlled trials.
