Abstract
Blood pressure management guidelines are widely available. Our aim was to examine differences in blood pressure on the same subjects in primary and secondary care. We identified 661 diabetic subjects with measurements with the aid of the SAIL databank. Blood pressure in primary care was significantly lower than secondary care.
