Popis: Although vascular and autonomic nervous system have been involved in the regulation of morning surge in blood pressure (MBPS), data on clinical correlates of MBPS in diabetic population are scarce, in particular with regard to diabetic complications. This study was aimed at investigating predictors and correlates of MBPS in diabetes. In a cross-sectional study including 167 patients with diabetes (age 58.5 ± 11.1 years, duration 15.9 ± 12.1 years), clinical variables, diabetic and neuropathic complications, and MBPS (using 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) were measured. The upper quartile of MBPS (>30.5 mmHg) was associated with higher values of waist circumference (P = 0.027), triglycerides (P = 0.021), and Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score (P = 0.042), with lower HDL cholesterol (P = 0.030), and with the presence of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) (P = 0.016) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (P 10%) (P = 0.012), and MBPS was positively related to systolic (rho = 0.41, P
