Abstract
Background: Diabetes and hypertension are something that coexist in patients. The prevalence of hypertension is 1.5-2 times more in those with diabetes than in those without diabetes, whereas almost 1/3 of the patients with hypertension develop diabetes later. In this study, pre-diabetes and diabetes in hypertensive patients and on coexisting risk factors were studied.
Methods: After diagnosed hypertension cases on treatment who gave written informed consent were studied for duration of disease, drug therapy, family history, manifestations of co-morbidities and investigated for fasting and post-prandial blood sugar, oral glucose tolerance, lipid profile, serum creatinine, uric acid and SGPT.
Results: Out of 100 recruited hypertensive patients 52 were females and 48 were males. 43% were diagnosed pre- diabetics whereas 16% were diabetics.
Conclusions: Prediabetes and diabetes are highly prevalent among individuals with known cases of hypertension and pre-hypertension.
Keywords: Pre-diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance, Impaired fasting glucose, Diabetes, Hypertension, Pre-Hypertensive.
