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.
Comments
This is really interesting. I know that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the Number 1 killer in the adult population of Western societies. This may be due to the increase in the number of young people getting diabetes.
The western world is paying dearly for their bad habits and it won't end until their diet changes.
