Added Sugar Increases Heart Risks - Heart Disease - FOXNews.com We really needed to be more "freaked out" with diabetes and consider it to be as deadly like heart disease or cancer if not treated. It is so common for people with weight issues to be type 2 diabetic or prediabetic. Having diabetes is so bad for your body. Over time, high blood glucose levels damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death among people with diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can eventually lead to other health problems as well, such as vision loss, kidney failure, and amputations. Many people with pre-diabetes develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years. In addition, they are at risk for heart disease and stroke. If you have diabetes, you are at least twice as likely as someone who does not have diabetes to have heart disease or a stroke. People with diabetes also tend to develop heart disease or have strokes at an earlier age than other people. If you are middle-aged and have type 2 diabetes, some studies suggest that your chance of having a heart attack is as high as someone without diabetes who has already had one heart attack. My Mom is an insulin dependent diabetic and it wasn't until she was hospitalized for a week bc they couldn't get her sugar stabilized that I really looked into what being a diabetic meant. Diabetes doesn't get enough credit. It is a really bad deal. It slowly wears downs and clogs up your body and the damage it does is hard to reverse.
