Evidence on the long-term incidence and risk factors of hypertension and coronary artery disease in diabetic patients is
scarce and mainly derived from studies in developed countries. Epidemiological study on diabetes and diabetes induces
complications is required for planning a well-co-ordinated approach to this public health problem in various region of
Gujarat. The objectives of present study were to estimate the prevalence and risk factors for the development of hypertension
and coronary artery disease in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus using routinely collected data from a clinical information
system at tertiary care hospital from various region of Gujarat. During this retrospective study we have analysed the data of
5403 patients who were utilizing the medical care in a private tertiary care hospital. The data was collected from 260
doctors’ clinics on prevalence of diabetes and diabetes induces complications like hypertension and coronary artery disease.
In our study prevalence of hypertension (71.6%) was found more common than coronary artery disease 46.43%, heart failure
25.8%, renal disorder 16.2%, neuropathy 39.53%, stroke 19.6%, retinopathy 22.98%, and nontraumatic lower limb
amputations 54.83%. This shows the higher prevalence of hypertension and coronary artery disease among diabetic patients
in different territory of Gujarat state. This indicates that the awareness of diabetes was quite less in the Gujarat and there
could be many other asymptomatic diabetic patients who may not aware about whether he/she has diabetes.
