- Title
Review: Angiotensin-receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have the lowest risk for diabetes.
- Authors
Elliott, W. J.; Meyer, P. M.
- Abstract
The article reviews a study on the relative odds of developing diabetes with the long-term use of various types of antihypertensive drugs by patients with hypertension or other cardiovascular risk factors. The network meta-analysis is used to combine direct and indirect comparison among drug types. Antihypertensive drugs associated with the lower risk for diabetes are angiotensin-receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Drugs associated with the highest risks are diuretics.
