Diabetes and heart disease are closely linked. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing heart disease, including conditions like coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Here are some key points about the connection between the two: 1. *High Blood Sugar*: Persistent high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and the nerves that control the heart. 2. *Insulin Resistance*: This common feature of type 2 diabetes can contribute to heart disease. 3. *Risk Factors*: People with diabetes often have other conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. 4. *Lifestyle*: Healthy eating, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and quitting smoking can help manage diabetes and reduce the risk of heart disease. 5. *Medications*: Proper management of diabetes with medications can help control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications, including heart disease. Managing both diabetes and heart disease often requires a comprehensive approach, including medical treatment and lifestyle changes. To know more consult DR.
