Relationship between the progression of diabetic polyneuropathy and impaired circadian blood pressure variability

Patients with progressive diabetic polyneuropathy and renal impairment often show impaired circadian blood pressure variability. The progression of electrophysiological and clinical neuropathy is associated with riser-type circadian blood pressure variability independent of urinary albumin excretion, insulin therapy, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor medication and body mass index.
