Abstract

The number of diabetes mellitus patients keeps increasing from year to year. The condition of hyperglycemia in DM patients causes an increase in angiotensin II hormone which leads to the hypertension. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease complication in DM patients is 29%. The purpose of this study was to analyze the blood glucose level and blood pressure in patients with hypertension in Mersi village, East Purwokerto. The design of this study was descriptive correlation. The population comprised of 105 hypertension patients who became the members of the Hypertension Care Group in Mersi Village, Purwokerto. The samples were 84 respondents. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The instrument to collect blood glucose level data employed glucose meter and the one for blood pressure used digital sphygmomanometer. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test. The majority of respondents were female with 58 people (69.9%), and most of the respondent, 64 people (77.1%), had DM disease. The mean of blood glucose level was 212.94 mg / dl and it was categorized into hyperglycemia. The mean of blood pressure was 125.42 / 80.98 mmHg and it was normal. There was a significant correlation (p systolic; 0.026, and p diastolic; 0.032) and strong correlation (r obtained systolic; 0.815 and r obtained diastolic; 0.777) between blood glucose level and blood pressure. Blood glucose level is closely related to blood pressure in patients with hypertension and the higher the blood glucose level, the greater the blood pressure.
