Measure
Liraglutide
All subjects will be advised a low sodium diet. This will be a placebo controlled, double blind and randomized trial of effects of Liraglutide on systolic BP control. Eligible patients will have ABPM measurements and laboratory blood collection at baseline (prior to initiation of Liraglutide or Placebo), at 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. Patients will return 24 hours following ABPM placement for device and data retrieval. Each subject will be asked to keep a log of activities throughout the day. Liraglutide or Placebo: All subjects will be advised a low sodium diet. Eligible patients will have ABPM measurements and laboratory blood collection at baseline (prior to initiation of Liraglutide or Placebo), at 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. Patients will return 24 hours following ABPM placement for device and data retrieval.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 8 Weeks

Population: Only 2 subjects in the placebo group completed 80% ambulatory blood pressure measurements at visits 2 (baseline) and visit 5 (8 weeks).

To determine whether Liraglutide lowers systolic BP through the day compared to placebo in patients with T2DM who are not on any anti-hypertensive medications or whose BP medications are unchanged over the study period of 8 weeks.

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure as Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors.

Interval -18.6 to 13.6
-5.45 mm/Hg
Interval -6.9 to -4.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 8 Weeks

Population: Only 2 subjects in the placebo group completed 80% ambulatory blood pressure measurements at visits 2 (baseline) and visit 5 (8 weeks). One placebo subject did not have an overall pulse pressure value at week 8 and was eliminated from that outcome analysis.

1. Change in mean arterial blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure from baseline to 8 weeks in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. 2. Change in nocturnal BP: the absence of the nocturnal (between 23:00-06:00 hrs) decline in BP of \>/= 10% (defined as "non-dippers") and whether restoration occurs following Liraglutide therapy. 3. Change in pulse pressure: defined as the difference in systolic and diastolic BPs from baseline to week 8.
