This review discusses nonpharmacological interventions for the management of hypertension in people with diabetes. Interventions that focus on controlling weight, reducing salt intake, eating according to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension guidelines, partaking in regular physical activity, ceasing smoking and self-measuring of blood pressure can lower blood pressure in the population with diabetes. Other positive outcomes resulting from these lifestyle changes are improved glycemia levels and cardiac function and reduction in overall cardiovascular risk.
