This study aims to assess how hypertension influences glycemic control, specifically HbA1c levels, in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Conducted a cross-sectional analysis on 200 adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Patients were divided into two groups: those with hypertension and those without hypertension.
An independent samples t-test was used to compare HbA1c levels between the two groups.
The mean HbA1c was 8.71% in diabetic patients with hypertension vs. 8.14% in those without hypertension, showing a significant difference of 0.57% (t = 2.055, p = 0.041).
Diabetic patients with hypertension exhibited poorer glycemic control compared to normotensive counterparts.
The findings suggest that hypertension exacerbates insulin resistance, leading to deteriorated glucose homeostasis.
