The hypertension and hyperlipidemia status among type 2 diabetic patients in the community and influencing factors analysis of glycemic control

Abstract

The results of this study showed that the co-morbidity of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia was high and prevalent among diabetic patients in Guangzhou. Moreover, glycaemic control of T2DM patients with hyperlipidaemia was lower than other diabetic patients. Obesity and overweight, poor lifestyle and dietary habits are also major factors affecting the treatment and control of T2D patients in this region. Therefore, comprehensive measures should be actively taken to control blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients by also incorporating lipid management into the community and strictly controlling lipid levels.
