ABSTRACT
Normalization of blood pressure is today as necessary as an optimal blood glucose control. These targets aim at reducing the negative consequences of hypertension which is particularly frequent and of poor prognosis for these patients. Nevertheless, the definition of the real blood pressure of these patients is uneasy because of the lack of precision of clinical blood pressure measurement. New methods have been developed to address this insufficiency. Home blood pressure monitoring is characterised by good compliance and accuracy, but patient education needs a special training and validated automated devices. This method has to be proposed to the diabetic population as soon as hypertension may be a problem. These patients will contribute to monitor their own blood pressure as they do it with blood glucose control.
