Background:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is probably one of the oldest diseases known to man. Hypertension is twice as frequent in patients with diabetes compared with those who do not have diabetes. Hence, the present study was conducted for evaluation of hypertension and its associated factors among type 2 diabetics.Materials &Methods:A total of 300 patients who had type 2 diabetes were evaluated. Incidence of hypertension was assessed in all these patients. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients were recorded. Hemodynamic profile, biochemical variables and anthropometric measurements were assessed. ECG was also done for all study subjects. Factors associated with hypertension were evaluated separately. Results were recorded on Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results:A total of 300 diabetic patients were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 53.9 years. Majority proportion of patients were males. Hypertension was seen in 67.33 percent of the patients. While assessing various associated factors statistically, it was seen that poor socio-economic status, obesity,dyslipidemia, longer duration of diabetes and high HbA1c value were significantly associated with occurrence of hypertension. Conclusion:Diabetic patients should be screened periodically for early detection of hypertension and related cardiovascular risk factors.
