Description: | Number of Indigenous regular clients with type 2 diabetes whose blood pressure measurement result recorded within the previous 6 months was less than or equal to 140/90 mmHg. |
Rationale: | People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure. The RACGP diabetes management guidelines currently recommend a target blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg for people with type 2 diabetes (RACGP 2020). Managing a healthy blood pressure can reduce the risk and slow the progression of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and diabetic eye disease. |
