Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and blood pressure (BP) are deadly combination for the development of macro and micro vascular diseases. BP variability is strongly associated with the increased cardiovascular event in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. To evaluate the significant outcomes in the blood pressure parameters of diabetic and non-diabetic patients of North India. Hospital based cross sectional study. This study was conducted in outpatient department (OPD) of Department of Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. The studies examine 200 type 2 DM patients with chronic non healing ulcer and 200 non diabetic healthy volunteers. Among 200 diabetic patient 108 male&92female mean age (89±18) years and 200 non-diabetics include 102 male 98 female, mean age (82±20) years. The difference between two groups was measured by sample t-test and p≤ 0.05 was taken as significant. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was highest in Bihar (69), Jharkhand (30), MP (22), Nepal (11) and Uttar Pradesh (69) was recorded. The mean value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure of diabetic patients was 146mmhg and 92mmHg. Present data clearly illustrate that uncontrolled DM patients are having higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure than normal and are also at the higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
