What are the medications for high blood pressure and diabetes?

Patient's question:

It's actually quite difficult. Could you please ask about high blood pressure and diabetes medication?

Doctor's answer:

Hypertension and diabetes are currently incurable diseases that require long-term medication control. For hypertension medication, it is recommended to use long-acting antihypertensive drugs such as irbesartan or slow-release nifedipine tablets. For diabetes, metformin extended-release tablets and gliclazide can be taken orally, and insulin therapy can also be used. Maintain a low-salt, low-sugar diet, quit smoking and alcohol, engage in appropriate exercise, and always keep a regular lifestyle. Regular follow-up tests are necessary.
