Preferred antihypertensive drug for type 2 diabetes

The antihypertensive medications available to patients with type 2 diabetes include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, and selective beta-blockers. When type 2 diabetes is combined with albuminuria or chronic kidney disease, the preferred antihypertensive agents are angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. In patients with type 2 diabetes, a combination of antihypertensive medications is often required to achieve antihypertensive goals. The combination can be based on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists in combination with calcium channel blockers, low-dose diuretics, or selective beta-blockers. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril; angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as timosartan; calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine; diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide; and selective beta-blockers such as metoprolol. The use of the above drugs is for reference only, please standardize the use of drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
