A Correlation between Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure in Diabetic Patients

Diabetes mellitus and blood pressure are critical combination for the development of macro and micro vascular disease. Blood pressure (BP) variability is associated with increased cardiovascular event in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The objective of the study was to evaluation of the prevalence of blood pressure systolic and diastolic in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The cross sectional study was used. This study was conducted in OPD in department of medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University Varanasi from Jan 2013 to April 2013. The studies examine 400 patients, with 200 diabetic and 200 non diabetic. In diabetic patient (108 male &female 92) mean age (89±18) year and 200 non diabetic patients 102 male 98 female, mean age (82±20) years. The difference between two group was measured by sample t-test ≤ 0.05 was taken significant. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 69 Bihar, 30 Jharkhand, 22 MP, 11 Nepal and68 from Uttar Pradesh. The mean of systolic blood pressure of Diabetic patients are 146mmhg and the mean of Diastolic blood pressure of diabetic patients are 92mmHg. In patients with Diabetic mellitus at higher risk for cardiovascular events, targeting systolic blood pressure is greater than 120mmHg so it is concluded that diabetic mellitus was more affected the blood pressure.
