Value of ambulatory blood pressure measurement in diagnosing hypotension in hypertensive diabetic patients with medication-controlled BP.

In treated hypertensive diabetic patients with antihypertensive medication, ABPM may be beneficial in capturing bouts of asymptomatic (silent) hypotension readings that occur in the out-of-hospital setting. Diabetic patients with controlled hypertension based on office reading showed a significant number of asymptomatic hypotensive readings detected with ambulatory BP monitoring that can have a role in following up such patients.
