Patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and hypertension were studied before and after three months of combined beta-blocker-diuretic treatment. Blood pressure fell significantly (P less than .001) from (mean +/- SEM) 167 +/- 3/99 +/- 1 to 142 +/- 3/88 +/- 1 mm Hg. However, mean (+/- SEM) fasting plasma glucose concentration increased significantly (P less than .001) from 132 +/- 11 to 153 +/- 10 mg/dL. In addition, significant increases (P less than .05) were noted in fasting concentration of plasma total triglyceride, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride and VLDL-cholesterol, whereas fasting plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol was significantly lower (P less than .05). Thus, a common treatment program for hypertension exacerbated the abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism commonly present in patients with NIDDM. Since the changes noted would increase risk of vascular disease, attention should be focused on selection of treatment programs for lowering blood pressure in patients with NIDDM in order to avoid this outcome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
