Background: The present study was conducted for assessing the prevalence of hypertension in type 2 DM patients. Materials & methods:One hundred participants with type 2 diabetes were included in the study. All of the patients' complete demographic information was acquired. All patients had blood samples taken, which were then submitted to a lab to document each patient's glycemic and biochemical profiles. Three days in a row, all of the patients were summoned back, and blood pressure was taken. The final value was determined by taking the mean of the three measurements. The prevalence of high blood pressure was noted. Every outcome was entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and then statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software. Results:A total of 500 type 2 diabetic patients were analyzed. mean age of the patients was 43.1 years. Among these 500 patients, 291 were males while the remaining were females. Hypertension was seen in 238 patients. Hence; the overall prevalence of hypertension was 47.6 percent of the patients. Significant results were obtained while correlating the HbAc1 levels with occurrence of hypertension. Conclusion:There is a relationship between diabetes and hypertension. To reduce the morbidity linked to the condition, close observation of the risk factors for hypertension and diabetes is necessary. |
