J Ayub Med Coll Abottabad Jan ;14(2):31-4.

Anticipation of surrogate end points has lead to hesitancy for using beta-blockers in diabetic hypertensives. Despite widely held beliefs, the literature supports the notion that ß-blockers should be among the preferred therapy for hypertensive diabetic patients. They cause the reduction of the most important complications of diabetes with hypertension, such as CVD events, strokes and mortality. This paper calls on practitioners to reconsider the role of ß-blockers on their menu of options for hypertensive diabetics. This is a review article.
