Key result
Uncontrolled glycaemia was strongly associated with uncontrolled blood pressure among hypertensive diabetic patients (AOR 21.630; 95% CI 8.057-58.070; p<0.001).
Why the study?
Hypertension is a prevalent comorbidity in diabetes that increases cardiovascular disease risk, motivating an assessment of blood pressure control and its predictors in this high-risk population.
Cross-Sectional (n=186)

In a cohort of hypertensive diabetic patients in Ethiopia, blood pressure was controlled in 55.9%, with older age, longer hypertension duration, smoking, nonadherence, and uncontrolled glycemia predicting poor control.

Supports integrated glycemic-BP management in diabetic hypertension; hypothesis-generating for prospective trials.
Dedefo et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and Diabetes (n=186). Uncontrolled glycaemia vs. Controlled glycaemia was evaluated on Uncontrolled blood pressure (AOR 21.630, 95% CI 8.057-58.070, p=< 0.001). Uncontrolled glycaemia was strongly associated with uncontrolled blood pressure among hypertensive diabetic patients (AOR 21.630; 95% CI 8.057-58.070; p<0.001).
