Blood Glucose Influence on Cholesterol and Blood Pressure of Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the blood glucose influence on cholesterol and blood pressure of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This research was correlative analytic study. The sample consisted of 24 respondents. Data analyzed using Spearman’s rho. Spearman's rho test results on blood glucose and cholesterol are a significance value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of 0.619. This can be interpreted that there is an influence between blood glucose and cholesterol with a strong relationship. Spearman's rho test results on blood glucose and blood pressure are a significance value of 0.000 and a correlation coefficient of 0.798. This can be interpreted that there is an influence between blood glucose and blood pressure with a strong relationship. The conclusion of this study is that there is an influence between blood glucose with cholesterol and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Association between cholesterol and blood pressure examination in Sampangan, Semarang City: a preliminary study

“…The incidence of CVD is closely associated with various risk factors, such as uncontrolled blood pressure and cholesterol levels [1]. Blood pressure is one of the clinical indicators most often measured in supporting clinical decisions for patients' treatment [1,2]. Patients with abnormal blood pressure conditions are at risk of endothelial dysfunction.…”

“…Endothelial dysfunction can cause organ damage and clinical prognoses, such as stroke. Moreover, in blood vessels, the endothelial cells develop, maintain, and repair damaged blood vessel tissue [2].…”

“…In line with blood pressure, another metabolic syndrome that is a major health problem today is cholesterol [2]. The main sterol that the human body produces is cholesterol.…”

“…Cholesterol is also an important component of cell membranes as a precursor to steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids. Cholesterol has a function in controlling its physical properties, which in turn affects the function of plasma membrane proteins and vesicle formation and fusion [2].…”

“…People with high cholesterol conditions or hyperlipidemia generally have excess lipid levels [2,3]. This condition is attributed to lipid accumulation in the blood vessels, which later combine with other substances in the blood to form plaque or fatty deposits [3].…”
