abstract="High blood pressure values observed in patients only in an outpatient clinic, in comparison with normal blood pressure values measured at home, is named \&#8220;white coat hypertension\&#8221;.   Aim:  The aim of this study was to evaluate the coincidence of late diabetic complications in type 2 diabetes and \&#8220;white coat hypertension\&#8221;.   Material and methods:  120 patients with type 2 diabetes without previously diagnosed arterial hypertension were enrolled into the study. Blood pressure values using a mercurial sphygmomanometer during a clinic visit and 24h blood pressure measurements (ABPM) were taken in all patients. Patients with mean daily blood pressure value estimated by ABPM above 135/85 mmHg were excluded. \&#8220;White coat hypertension\&#8221; was diagnosed when \&#8220;office blood pressure\&#8221; values were >140/90 mmHg and ABPM day values were <135/85 mmHg. Group I comprised 43 patients with \&#8220;white coat hypertension\&#8221; and group II (n=49) patients with normal blood pressure values. In all patients serum creatinine, urea, microalbuminurie, ophthalmological and neurological examinations were performed.   Results:  Statistical differences were observed between studied groups in systolic and diastolic pressure values measured using a sphygmomanometer during a clinic visit (p 0.05). There were no differences between groups in number of cases of late diabetic complications (p>0.05).   Conclusion:  \&#8220;White coat hypertension\&#8221; is not connected with the highest prevalence of nephropathy, retinopathy or polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients.",
