Objective  This small scale cross-sectional study was done to identify the common systolic blood pressure pattern (dipping or non-dipping) among type 2 diabetic men with coexisting hypertension and erectile dysfunction(ED). A recent study in the same setting showed that prevalence of ED was high among diabetic men and co-existing hypertension was identified as an independent risk factor. There was a postulation about an association between ED and non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure pattern. So ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) was obtained for participants to test this prediction. Data was analysed using SPSS 25 Version.    Results  Among 29 participants who underwent ABPM, 21 showed non-dipping pattern of nocturnal systolic blood pressure (72.4%; CI 54.3–86.3). Mean SBP of participants was 125.55 +_14.1 and Mean DBP was 81.5 + _12.82. There was no statistical difference observed in mean SBP and DBP between patients with dipping nocturnal SBP and non-dipping pattern (P > 0.05). Variability of SBP was high among the participants (Mean SD-11.96 +/_2.74) and DBP also showed relatively high variability (SD-9.28 +/_2.9). Mean dipping percentage of the SBP during sleep was 5.54 +/_6.66. A significant difference in heart rate (HR) between patients with non-dipping and dipping pattern was noted (P-0.034).
