Methods: The study was carried out in 100 Type-2 diabetic patients in the age group of 35-75 years with duration of diabetes ranging from 6 months to 20 years. Control Group consists of 100 normal individuals who matched with case in age, sex and socio economic condition as far as possible.
Results: The mean value of heart rate in 100 Diabetic patients was found to be 84.06 with standard deviation of 11.03 which higher when compared with the mean value of heart rate in 100 normal people which is 82.64 with standard deviation of 10.23. Mean arterial pressure of Diabetic patients was found to be 96.84 mmHg with a standard deviation of 7.84 which again is more than mean arterial pressure of normal persons which is 93.98 mmHg with standard deviation of 7.09.
Conclusion: There is increased need for regular health checkups especially of the cardiovascular system to prevent complications.
