Aim: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of hypertension in type 1 diabetes patients and to analyze its relationship with insulin resistance and other associated factors.Design and Methods: A cross-sectional study on 291 patients with type 1 immune-mediated diabetes managed at two outpatient endocrinology clinics was performed. All participants were Caucasian, 18 years or older with type 1 diabetes duration of more than 6 months, who had completed the study protocol. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure >= 130/80 mmHg or use of antihypertensive medication, excluding angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers when used as treatment for micro- or macroalbuminuria.Results: Hypertension was found in 87 [29.9% (95% confidence interval, or CI): 24.6%-35.2%] patients with type 1 diabetes. Hypertensive patients presented older age, male predominance, higher body mass index and overweight/obesity prevalence, and longer diabetes duration compared with normotensive patients. Insulin sensitivity quantified by estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) was lower in patients with hypertension compared with normotensives (5.2 +/- 1.4 vs. 9.1 +/- 1.2 mg kg(-1) min(-1), P
