Key result
Initiation of insulin treatment in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes caused a temporary elevation of blood pressure at two months (P<0.05 to 0.01) which returned to baseline or lower by four months.
Why the study?
Does insulin treatment affect blood pressure in patients with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes?
Observational (n=12)
Does insulin treatment affect blood pressure in patients with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes?
p-value: P<0.05 to 0.01
The initiation of insulin treatment in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes may cause a temporary and possibly clinically significant elevation of blood pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant short-term BP monitoring after insulin initiation in uncontrolled T2D; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
Sylvi Persson (2007) conducted an observational in insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes (n=12). Insulin treatment vs. Baseline was evaluated on Blood pressure (p=P<0.05 to 0.01). Initiation of insulin treatment in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes caused a temporary elevation of blood pressure at two months (P<0.05 to 0.01) which returned to baseline or lower by four months.
