Abstract
Diabetes, categorized into Type 1 and 2, has varying complications. This study explores its relationship with hypertension prevalence. To explore the relationship between diabetes type and hypertension prevalence among 100 diabetes patients (50 with type 1 diabetes and 50 with type 2 diabetes). The study also investigated blood pressure levels and the control of hypertension within these patient groups. Demographic data, hypertension prevalence, and blood pressure measurements were collected for both type 1 and 2 diabetes patients. Statistical analyses were performed to determine significant differences between the groups. Demographic characteristics: Type 1 diabetes patients were notably younger, with an average age of 34.2 years, compared to Type 2 diabetes patients, whose average age was 58.5 years. Gender distribution was balanced, with 52% male and 48% female participants in each group. Hypertension Prevalence: A substantial difference in hypertension prevalence was observed between the two groups. Among type 1 diabetes patients, 56% had hypertension, while among type 2 diabetes patients, 84% were hypertensive. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.001), indicating a higher likelihood of hypertension in type 2 diabetes patients. Blood Pressure Levels: Type 2 diabetes patients exhibited significantly higher mean systolic blood pressure (148.9 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (84.7 mmHg) compared to Type 1 diabetes patients. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were significantly elevated in type 2 diabetes patients (p<0.001). Control of hypertension: In type 1 diabetes patients with hypertension, 50% had their blood pressure under control (BP <140/90 mmHg). Among type 2 diabetes patients with hypertension, 42% achieved blood pressure control, a difference that was not statistically significant. This study highlights a higher prevalence of hypertension and elevated blood pressure levels in type 2 diabetes patients compared to Type 1 diabetes patients. Although, hypertension control rates were suboptimal in both groups, the findings emphasize the importance of effective hypertension management strategies, particularly for type 2 diabetes patients. Further research with larger cohorts and longitudinal designs is warranted to deepen our understanding of these associations.
