Cardiovascular Disease

The wide term "cardiovascular disease" (CVD) refers to several heart and blood vessel conditions. People with diabetes are far more likely to get CVD because their sustained high blood sugar levels damage arteries and encourage plaque development.  Rising glucose levels over time cause blood vessels to stiffen and constrict, a condition known as atherosclerosis, which can restrict blood flow and result in fatal complications.
Often connected with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity further increase cardiovascular risks. Subtle early CVD symptoms include shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, tiredness, and leg oedema. Prevention and management depend critically on changes in lifestyle, including a nutritious diet, consistent exercise, weight control, and smoking cessation. Furthermore, it greatly lowers the risk by regulating blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar under medical supervision using drugs. Every diabetes patient's treatment should include heart-healthy habits and regular testing.
