AT II blocker with diuretics, ACE inhibitors with diuretics and β blocker with Calcium channel blocker were commonly used as combination therapy. And as a fixed dose combination therapy calcium channel blockers with angiotensine II receptor blocker and β blockers with diuretics were prescribed in majorities of patients with hypertensive diabetes mellitus. In mild to moderate HTN, the first line of treatment was lifestyle modification, i.e., weight control, low fat anti-atherogenic diet, salt restriction, reduction in alcohol intake, discontinuation of smoking, and some regimens of physical activity.
