How does diabetes link to cardiovascular disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad Company: There's a lot more to type 2 diabetes than high sugars. Type 2 diabetes is associated with high blood pressure, cholesterol abnormalities. All these separately cause blocked arteries, and when combined cause people to have dramatically higher-than-normal risk for heart attacks, strokes, and sudden death.. People w/ diabetes have the same risk for heart attack as someone who's already had one.
