Approximately 11 million Americans have both hypertension and diabetes mellitus. This double diagnosis places such patients at high risk for renal damage, especially end-stage renal disease. The sixth report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends a blood pressure goal of less than 130/85 mm Hg to reduce or slow the o...

The vast majority of dogs have insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus. In 90% of the cases the cause is linked to autoimmune destruction of the beta cells or pancreatitis. Secondary diabetes from chronic insulin resistance and subsequent beta cell burnout (e.g., with Cushing’s disease, acromegaly, and diestrus) accounts for approximately 10% of canine diabetics. In approximately 80-95% of...

Long-term microvascular and neurologic complications cause major morbidity and mortality in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) 2. The incidence of overt nephropathy rapidly grows 10-15 years after the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus; the incidence of nephropathy declines after that period and the occurence of nephropathy after 35 years of duration of type 1 diabetes is u...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has important health complications for both mother and child and is increasing all over the world.
