The Dangerous Link Between Diabetes and Heart Disease

Many patients with diabetes also have one or more conditions that contribute to an amplified risk for developing heart disease. In fact, 68 percent of people age 65 or older with diabetes die from some form of heart disease, with increasing rates of kidney complications. While diabetic patients generally follow a glucose-lowering treatment plan, they may not consider preventive heart health and kidney-friendly strategies.
