Abstract

Background: Hypertension was reported to be approximately twice as common in persons with diabetes as in those without diabetes. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension and pattern of blood pressure among patients with type 2 diabetic patients in Basrah. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 185 type 2 diabetic patients attending the Diabetic Center in Al-Fahyaa General Hospital and Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital during the period from January to March 2015. Data were collected through an interview questionnaire and laboratory investigations. Results: The prevalence of hypertension (BP ≥140/90 mmHg or on medication for high blood pressure) was 73% (50.8% old hypertensives and 22.2% newly diagnosed). Only 20.2% of the old hypertensive patients were with controlled blood pressure. Age, body mass index, and poor glycemic control were found to be significantly associated with hypertension. Conclusion: Hypertension is a common co-morbid disease among diabetic patients in Basrah, and a large proportion of those with hypertension had uncontrolled blood pressure.
