Glucose variations in hypertensive patients with diabetes: A retrospective study

Abstract

Background: Hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are prevalent chronic conditions associated with significant morbidity and mortality not only in the Uzbekistan but in the whole globe . Understanding their conjoined impact on blood sugar levels, particularly about gender-specific differences, is crucial for optimizing patient management strategies. Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of HTN on blood sugar levels in patients with and without DM, focusing on gender-specific variations. Method: A sample of 160 patients from the Tashkent Polyclinic was categorized based on Hypertension and diabetes status. Blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer, and statistical analyses, including t-tests, were conducted to compare blood sugar levels between groups with the help of excel . Result: Significant variations in blood sugar levels were noted between patients with both HTN and DM and those with only HTN. Gender-specific differences or variance were noted, with females exhibiting higher blood sugar levels than males, particularly in the presence of both conditions HTN and DM. Conclusion: The findings give the importance of personalized management strategies for hypertensive patients with coexisting DM, also considering gender-specific factors. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms driving these differences and optimize clinical outcomes.
