ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to find out the prevalence of hypertension in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Five hundred patients (229 men and 271 women) with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed in the last 6 months were evaluated for hypertension and presence of various diabetes related complications. Overall 42% (210/500) of the patients had hypertension; more women (46.1%) than men (37.1%) were affected. Patients with hypertension were older, had higher body mass index and plasma triglyceride levels, and evidence of ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram. Female sex, higher age, family history of hypertension or diabetes, history of neuropathic pains, higher body mass index, presence of albuminuria, dyslipidaemia or cardiac hypertrophy were found to affect prevalence of hypertension in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
