Uncovering the Hidden Link between Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease

Coronary heart disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide and along with diabetes, poses a serious health threat.

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 21.9% of total deaths and is projected to increase to 26.3% by 2030.

People with diabetes have a two to four times higher risk of developing coronary disease than people without diabetes and CHD accounts for 65-75% of deaths in people with diabetes.

Diabetes and coronary heart disease have a very close relationship.

Here are some important points regarding their interrelationship:

1. Increased risk: diabetes, especially in type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease. High levels of glucose in the blood can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart.
2. Inflammation and oxidative stress: diabetes can also cause chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, which can damage cells in the blood vessels and increase atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
3. Lipid profile: those with a history of diabetes will experience changes in lipid profile, including increased levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and decreased levels of HDL (good cholesterol). this can also increase the risk of heart disease.
4. Obesity: Many people with diabetes are obese, which is an additional risk factor for heart disease.

It is therefore important for diabetics to keep their blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and lipid profile within normal limits by adopting a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
