We conducted a retrospective analysis of patient records from multiple healthcare facilities, focusing on those diagnosed with both diabetes and hypertension. The findings reveal a predominant use of ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, with variations based on patient demographics, comorbidities, and regional healthcare practices. While the majority of patients received guideline-recommended therapies, a notable percentage were treated with suboptimal regimens, highlighting the need for improved adherence to established protocols. These results underscore the importance of personalized treatment plans and ongoing education for healthcare providers to optimize blood pressure control and reduce cardiovascular risks in this vulnerable population. Recommendations for future research include exploring barriers to guideline adherence and the impact of multidisciplinary care approaches.
