Key result
Morning hypertension in type 2 diabetic patients was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of diabetic complications compared to those without morning hypertension (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does morning home blood pressure measurement better predict diabetic complications compared to clinic blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients?
Observational (n=170)
Does morning home blood pressure measurement better predict diabetic complications compared to clinic blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients?
p-value: p=<0.05
Morning home blood pressure is a stronger predictor of microvascular and macrovascular complications, particularly nephropathy, than clinic blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.

May support morning home BP for risk stratification in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation versus clinic readings.
Kamoi et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes (n=170). Morning hypertension vs. No morning hypertension was evaluated on Prevalence of diabetic complications (nephropathy, retinopathy, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease) (p=<0.05). Morning hypertension in type 2 diabetic patients was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of diabetic complications compared to those without morning hypertension (P<0.05).
