Type 2 diabetes raises your odds of developing heart disease, so it is imperative to start paying attention to your heart health immediately if you have a diabetes diagnosis. Even those who have prediabetes are at risk and should be focusing on a healthy cardiovascular lifestyle.
Prediabetes is a result of poor blood sugar levels in the body. Unchecked, over time it could become Type 2 diabetes. This elevated blood sugar, which is present in both prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, can harm blood vessels and the nerves that keep your heart and blood vessels functioning properly. Over time, this can lead to heart disease.
