Glucose, glycated hemoglobin and fructosamine levels in essential hypertension.
It has been shown that a significant correlation is present between blood pressure and plasma glucose concentrations among nondiabetic individuals. Blood glycated hemoglobin, serum glucose and fructosamine concentrations were determined in forty nonobese individuals, twenty with untreated essential hypertension and twenty with normal blood pressure. The results demonstrated a decrease in fasting serum glucose and blood glycated hemoglobin values in hypertensive group compared to the healthy controls. Although, a minor decrease is observed in hypertensive group, no significant alteration is detected in fructosamine values between these two groups.
