A Cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients with diabetes attending outpatient department of Internal Medicine at a hospital at Ajman. Medical records of patients were used to obtain diagnostic, demographic and drug use information.

Mean (SD) age of patients with HTN was 55.1(10.1) years higher than those without HTN 49.6 (9.9) years (P5 years (P=0.04). While adjusting the significant factors, only duration of diabetes was statistically significant (adjusted OR=1.06; CI 95% (1.003-1.116) P= 0.03 among patients with HTN. 63.6% (68/107) prescriptions contained one drug antihypertensive drug, 27.1 % (29/107) two drugs and 7.4% (8/107) no anti-hypertensive drug were prescribed. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/ Angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEI/ARBs) followed by diuretics were commonly prescribed drugs. ARBs with diuretics were the most frequent two drug combinations. The antihypertensive utilization pattern was similar in both gender and age groups.
