| Description | The aim of this article is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different methods of blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is not entirely clear how to best and most eff ectively block the RAAS system in diabetic patients due to the lack of data from randomised clinical trials. Knowledge about treatment methods in this group of patients is obtained only from subgroup analyses and metaanalyses, where results maybe less reliable. Combination therapy with ACE inhibitors and ARBs could more eff ectively block the RAAS, but present fi ndings demonstrate confl icting results, particularly as regards the safety of patients. |
