Case studies

Brought to you by Diabetes & Primary Care, the three mini-case studies presented here take you through the considerations of managing complex cases of hypertension in type 2 diabetes. This module should be worked through once you have completed Managing hypertension in diabetes – the basics. Each scenario provides a different set of circumstances that you could meet in your everyday practice. By actively engaging with them, you will feel more confident and empowered to manage effectively such problems in the future
