“…In USA, 70.9% was the highest prevalence of hypertension among type 2 DM patients and the lowest prevalence reported was 66.9% [30]. Taking into account the previous and the present findings, it seems that hypertension affects more than 60% of the patients with type 2 DM, globally.…”

Introduction: Hypertension and obesity are key risk factors for long-term complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of hypertension and obesity is high in the United Arab of Emirates (UAE). However, none of these studies has focused on the investigation of hypertension and obesity in Emirati patients with type 2 DM. Methodology:The present study is a retrospective observational study which was conducted in Rashid Centre for Diabetes and Research (Ajman, UAE). Medical records for 510 diabetic Emirati patients were examined and 51 medical records were excluded due to incomplete or missing medical data. 459 medical records of Emirati patients with type 2 DM were filtered, examined and analyzed and the following variables were included in the investigation: anthropometric variables, diabetes type and duration, BMI, HbA1c, blood pressure and lipid profile. Results and conclusions:Findings of the present study have demonstrated that the prevalence of hypertension and obesity in Emirati patients with type 2 DM were 63% and 57%, respectively. Compared to non-hypertensive patients, hypertensive patients with type 2 DM were older and had higher levels of HbA1C and about 60% of the hypertensive patients were obese. A strong positive relationship between the systolic blood pressure, and age and diabetes duration was observed whereas the diastolic blood pressure was negatively correlated with age and diabetes duration. The prevalence of hypertension and obesity among Emirati patients with type 2 DM was significantly high. Age and diabetes duration have opposite effects on systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

“…Despite this knowledge, patients with DM frequently have difficulty managing their disease (Suh et al, 2010). There are many potential reasons for this such as lack of knowledge or understanding about the disease (Schillinger et al, 2002), poor lifestyle choices (Chiu & Wray, 2010), inability to pay for treatment (Quandt et al, 2005), or poor adherence to medications.…”

“…Despite this clear relationship between good glycemic control and reduced risk of diabetic complications, many patients with DM struggle mightily to maintain near normoglycemic values. In fact, approximately 50% of U.S. patients with type 2 DM have suboptimal control of their disease (Suh, Choi, Plauschinat, Kwon, & Baron, 2010). In 2004, only 7% of persons with type 2 DM met therapeutic goals for HbA 1c , cholesterol, and blood pressure (Saydah, Fradkin, & Cowie, 2004), and in 2010 only 4% knew if their disease was adequately controlled (Duncan, Gabbay, & Gardner, 2010).…”

“…Data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) [13] showed that over 5 years of follow-up, the incidence of diabetes mellitus was highest among Hispanics (11.3%), non-Hispanic blacks (9.5%), and Chinese Americans (7.7%), and lowest in non-Hispanic whites (6.3%). Findings from one study [14] demonstrated that among treated type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans were less likely to achieve glycemic control (hemoglobin A1C <7%) as compared with non-Hispanic whites.…”
