About 65 percent
of people with diabetes will die from a heart attack or stroke, yet
two out of every three people with diabetes are unaware of their
increased risk. "Be Smart About Your Heart: Control the ABCs
of Diabetes" encourages people with diabetes to control not only their
blood glucose (sugar), but also their blood pressure and cholesterol.
By keeping all three levels as close to normal as possible, people
with diabetes can live long, healthy lives. |
