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. Without oxygen and nutrients from the blood, the affected brain cells die. Another less common cause of stroke is a burst blood vessel (typically from an aneurysm, or weakened blood vessel) that bleeds into the brain.
