Diabetes and hypertension co-exist in approximately 10 million people in the USA and constitute severe risk factors for the development of such complications as heart and kidney disease. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial in patients of community primary care practices to study a tailored telephone-administered behavioral intervention to improve control of blood pressure and blood sugar in patients with both hypertension and diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that 20% more patients talking to a nurse every other month about ways to improve blood pressure and blood sugar control will bring their blood pressure under control when compared to patients who talk with the nurse only about general health issues. If successful in improving control of these diseases this intervention can easily be adopted in other community primary care practices to lessen the burden of diabetes and hypertension in the USA.
