Abstract
Introduction It is well documented that there is an association between the levels of plasma glucose concentration previous cardiac complications and blood pressure of non-diabetic individuals. However no study has reported an actual relationship among these factors in a typical clinical setting. The following case study is based on a patient with a history of IHD and hypertension, being diagnosed with uncontrolled DM type II. Case presentation This case study is based on a 53 year old female patient with a previous history of IHD and HTN, for which she was being treated with the required regime. She presented to the ER with clinical symptoms of hyperglycemia. RBS revealed that she had elevated plasma glucose levels and hence was diagnosed with type II DM. Conclusion The case study presents a clinical relationship between type II DM and HTN. The management of such patient requires adequate drug therapy and any errors in the pharmacotherapy can be rectified by inclusion of a clinical pharmacist in the health care team.
