A Beatable Combination: Diabetes And Heart Disease
Diabetes is scary enough...why add heart disease to the mix? Unfortunately, many diabetics must contend with both conditions, though scientists believe that one or both may be preventable. Which could be good news for the millions of diabetics in the world.

People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to get heart disease than non-diabetics. You are also at a greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke. And the reason for this is that people with diabetes tend to have higher blood pressure, be overweight and have higher cholesterol levels.

The good news is that diabetes can be managed through lifestyle changes, medicationslinks and changes in diet.

To prevent heart disease, it's important for people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar in check. But what exactly is blood sugar and what can happen if it's not kept under control?


This article offers some good tips on keeping diabetes under control, and on preventing heart disease. It's worth the read.
