A simple way to catch heart disease early in people with diabetes
If you have diabetes, you may already know it can affect many parts of the body: the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and even your feet. But did you know that your heart is at risk too — even if you feel completely fine? In fact, people with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease than those without diabetes. What’s more worrying is that many people don’t experience any warning signs before something serious happens, like a heart attack or heart failure. That’s why early heart screening is so important, even if you have no symptoms at all.
