White and black mildly hypertensive Type 2 diabetics were given an intended diet high in unrefined carbohydrate (50% daily energy) and fibre (40-45 g/day) while low in fat (25% daily energy) and sodium (60-80 mmol/day) for 3 months. Both white and black diabetic hypertensive patient groups demonstrated a significant reduction of systolic (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.001 respectively) and diastolic blood pressure (p less than 0.001 and p less than 0.01 respectively). This was accompanied by a significant reduction of daily urine sodium excretion, urine sodium: potassium ratio, weight and glycosylated haemoglobin in both groups. Only whites had a significant reduction of serum triglyceride level (p less than 0.05) although blacks showed similar trends. Compliance to the dietary regimen, assessed by a trends. Compliance to the dietary regimen, assessed by a scoring method appeared comparable in both groups. These data suggest this modified dietary regimen might be considered an attractive alternative to conventional antihypertensive drug therapy in mildly hypertensive Type 2 diabetic black as well as white patients.
