The Life-Threatening Link between Diabetes and Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disease (which includes heart disease and
other problems with the heart and blood vessels like heart attacks and
strokes) causes approximately two-thirds of deaths in people with type 2
diabetes, making it the number one cause of death. But the good news is, the
sooner people understand their risk, the sooner they can talk to their
healthcare provider to learn more about the link between type 2 diabetes and
potentially life-threatening heart attacks, strokes or even death.
To help raise awareness of this critical issue, Boehringer
Ingelheim and Lilly have teamed up with Medical
Director of Clinical Transformation at the Providence Heart and Vascular
Institute in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Ty J. Gluckman, More.
