What behaviors can alter the risk for cardiovascular disease?
Over
time, high blood glucose from diabetes can damage your blood vessels and the
nerves that control your heart and blood vessels. The longer you have diabetes,
the higher the chances that you will develop heart disease. People with
diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age than people without
diabetes. In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart
disease and stroke. Adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to die from
heart disease or stroke as people without diabetes. The good news is
that the steps you take to manage your diabetes also help to lower your
chances of having heart disease or stroke.
