The ADVANCE trial
showed that combination ACEI (perindopril) plus diuretic (indapamide) reduced micro and macrovascular complications and CVD total and total mortality.
ACCOMPLISH trial showed a decrease in morbidity and mortality in those receiving ACEI (benazepril) and amlodipine vs benazepril and HCTZ.
2011 guidelines specifically recommend HCTZ if GFR >30 or loop diuretic if GFR <30 if BP is still not controlled with ACEI/ARB.

8. Transition from Peds to Adult

Recognize their vulnerabilities. (B)

Use of A1C as a screening test is not recommended.
During a period of stable health the diagnosis of CFRD can be made in CF patients according to usual diagnostic criteria. (E)
Patients with CFRD should be treated with insulin to attain individualized glycemic goals. (A)
Annual monitoring for complications of diabetes is recommended, beginning 5 years after the diagnosis of CFRD. (E)
