DM 31.1 Rationale
Blood pressure (BP) lowering in people with diabetes reduces the
risk of macrovascular and microvascular disease. This indicator, along with
indicator DM30, are replacements of the 2009/10 QOF indicator DM12 (The percentage
of patients with diabetes in whom the last blood pressure is 145/85 or less).
The target of 140/80 mmHg has been set as per the target recommended by NICE.
NICE clinical guideline 87 (2008). Type 2 Diabetes - newer agents
(partial update of CG66). www.nice.org.uk/CG87
DM 31.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the percentage of patients on the diabetic
register in which the last blood pressure measurement was 140/80 or less. The
pressure must have been measured in the preceding 15 months.
