Key result
Normotensive male patients with type 2 diabetes had a significantly higher prevalence of orthostatic hypertension compared to nondiabetic controls (12.8% vs 1.8%, P<0.01).

Orthostatic hypertension is a novel complication in normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes that may be associated with early-stage neuropathy and the development of sustained hypertension.

Higher OHT prevalence in type 2 diabetes; leaves open its prognostic value and need for targeted evaluation.
Yoshinari et al. (2001) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=405). Type 2 diabetes vs. Nondiabetic controls was evaluated on Prevalence of orthostatic hypertension (OHT) (p=<0.01). Normotensive male patients with type 2 diabetes had a significantly higher prevalence of orthostatic hypertension compared to nondiabetic controls (12.8% vs 1.8%, P<0.01).
