Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in people with diabetes. Heart attacks occur more frequently in people with diabetes and have a less favorable course than in people without diabetes. In type 2 diabetes in particular, in addition to the elevated blood sugar levels, there are often disorders that have a negative effect on the blood vessels. Elevated blood pressure and lipid metabolism disorders also damage the vessel walls and cause narrowing and blockage of the arteries. Diabetes and heart disease is a video from the Diabetes - Not just a question of type initiative. With this initiative, the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), with the support of the Federal Ministry of Health, wants to raise awareness of diabetes. You can find more films and information about the initiative on the websites http://diabetes-typ.de and https://diabetesinformationsdienst.de...
