Heart & Vascular
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among people with diabetes, yet much of the population remains unaware of the risk. Chronic hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) can cause arteries to narrow and/or lose elasticity, and high cholesterol levels can clog arteries with fat deposits. People with type 1 diabetes who have also developed some degree of insulin resistance may be at an increased risk for heart problems, as insulin resistance has been associated with cardiovascular problems.
