Stroke & Diabetes

Ischemic stroke is sometimes referred to as a "brain attack." Most strokes are caused by a blockage (or occlusion) of the arteries or blood vessels feeding the brain, which significantly reduces or stops blood flow.

Another less common cause of stroke is a burst blood vessel (typically from an aneurysm, or weakened blood vessel) that bleeds into the brain.
