Assessing the Correlation between Hypertension and Diabetes: A 90-day Retrospective Study

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is an extremely common disease found in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).Eighty to 90% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus will develop HTN, and about 20% of hypertensive patients develop diabetes.This retrospective study assessed the correlation between HTN and DM by assessing changes in key clinical parameters over a study period of 90 days.Materials and methods: A total of 176 patients (Males: 132, Females: 44) aged 25-80 years with systolic blood pressure (SBP) >120 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >80 mm Hg, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >6.5 were included.Patients with normal BP, non-diabetics, and type 1 DM were excluded.Primary efficacy endpoints included SBP, DBP, and HbA1c.Secondary endpoints included weight, body mass index (BMI), abdominal girth (ABG), RBS, and heart rate (HR).Data were analyzed for changes from day 1 to day 90.Results: The mean age of participants was 52.52 11.27 years.Significant reductions were observed in SBP (142.99 16.62 to 134.82 16.37 mm Hg), DBP (89.69 8.91-82.72 9.92 mm Hg), and HbA1c (9.21 1.92 to 8.37 2.03).Weight, BMI, ABG, and HR also shows a strong correlation exists between HTN and DM, as evidenced by improvements in key parameters over 90 days.Integrated management strategies targeting both conditions may enhance patient outcomes.A reduction in allopathic medication usage was noted. Conclusion:A strong correlation exists between HTN and DM, as evidenced by improvements in key parameters over 90 days.Integrated management strategies targeting both conditions may enhance patient outcomes.Clinical significance: This study reinforces the need for comprehensive management of HTN and DM to mitigate cardiovascular risks.
