Background: In type 2 diabetic patients, resistant hypertension (RH) is associated with higher cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and renal diseases; however, a prevalence of RH in the Middle East is unknown.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension and RH among adult type 2 diabetic patients, and to determine the relationship between RH and patient demographics.
