<![CDATA[Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disease with multiple complications contributing to the global healthcare burden. Untreated T2DM causes multiple organs and systemic injury, including heart, kidney, nerve, and blood vessels, which impairs quality of life and increases mortality rates caused by complications of diabetes. Some of these complications play a clear role in increasing diabetes mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the differences in blood glucose level and lipid profile among T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension. Method: This research was a cross-sectional analytic study. Research subjects were taken using a purposive sampling technique with inclusion and exclusion criteria among the 40 T2DM patients in the Chronic Disease Management Program called Prolanis at Bambanglipuro Health Centre. The inclusion criteria were T2DM patients who were members of Prolanis. The exclusion criteria were patients with a history of complications such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Accordingly, in total, 32 T2DM patients were joining this study. We collected the total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL data and analyzed it with an independent T-test. The fasting blood glucose level, HbA1C, and triglyceride data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There were differences in LDL levels (p=0.005) in T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension. Meanwhile, there was no difference in fasting blood glucose among T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in LDL, and there were no significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels in T2DM patients with hypertension and without hypertension. ]]>
