Diabetes Medication May Slow Thickening Of Arteries

Filed in archive Research by Rhys on October 29, 2006

Another diabetes-related study has sprung up. You can read all the details here.

Individuals with diabetes, who cannot produce sufficient amounts of insulin or respond to the insulin needed to turn glucose into energy, have a higher risk for myocardial infarction (heart attack), according to background information in the article. Controlling blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or 'bad') cholesterol has been shown to reduce some of this excess risk. "However, even with optimal control of these potent cardiovascular risk factors, incremental risk for cardiovascular events remains high compared with individuals without diabetes," the authors write. "New approaches are, therefore, needed to further reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes."
