Higher heart disease risk for younger people with Type 2 diabetes

From Diabetes-UK today, we find that younger people with Type 2 diabetes have a bigger risk than older people with the condition of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), says research presented today. The research also showed that, although under-40s with Type 2 have a greater risk of getting heart disease than their counterparts over 40, they are less likely to receive treatment for it – particularly women.
