ALLHAT was not about which medication to start in diabetics. ACE-Is are a no-brainer for firstline HTN therapy for diabetics. Because ACE-Is don't lower bp particularly well, a thiazide is almost always needed soon after. Absolute Misquote Medrants.

Is this an "oops" moment? What happened to "for <i><b>hypertensive</b></i> diabetics"? This uninformed but curious recently-diagnosed 48-year-old diabetic with BP of 125/82 is curious. “I expect all adult onset diabetics to either be receiving an ACE inhibitor or have a documented contraindication…”
