Objective: To investigate the blood pressure control in type 2 diabetic patients with overweight or obesity in Guangdong Province.

Methods: From August 2011 to March 2012, The 2 diabetic patients with overweight or obesity was recruited from 67 hospitals in 20 cities of Guangdong Province, and received a standard questionnaire. The conditions of Demographic data, clinical examinations, the most recent laboratory assessment, and drug therapy were recorded.

Results: Totally, 4318 questionnaires with complete information were collected. Mean age of patients was 58.81±12.98 years. Mean duration of hypertension was 7.89±7.28 years, and mean BMI was 27.29±2.78 kg/m2. Among the participants, the prevalence of hypertension was 58.5%, controlled BP was achieved in 23.8% patients dysfunction. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that older age, obesity, history of hypertension and inadequate glycemic control were the factors related to unsatisfactory blood pressure control rate in investigated patients. Calcium channel blocker (58.0%) and angiotensin-II receptor blockers (43.1%) were the most frequently used medications.

Conclusions: Type 2 diabetic patients with overweight or obesity in Guangdong Province have poor blood pressure control status. Thus, active lifestyle interventions and drug therapy should be taken to reduce the complications and mortality of the population.
