T2DM and T2DM + HTN patients had higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), ESR, and fibrinogencompared to controls. Plasma fibrinogen was measured using Lempert method and BV calculated using Merill’s formula. ESR and hematocrit were determined by Wintrobe’s method. A total of 145 participants between age group 30–50 years divided into three groups controls (n = 60), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, n = 55), and T2DM with hypertension (T2DM + HTN, n = 30). A case-control study was performed to examine the relationship of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hematocrit, fibrinogen, and BV with glycemic markers and BP in middle-aged normotensive and hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls. Altered blood viscosity (BV) may affect blood pressure (BP) and develops further complications in diabetes.
