The cardiovascular risk of a diabetic person suffering a cardiovascular event is equal to that of a nondiabetic who has had a heart attack.

It also increases the possibility of cerebrovascular disease or peripheral artery involvement. To enter the brain glucose does not need insulin, and that goes directly from the blood. Maintain constant levels of blood glucose (between 60-110 mg / dl) avoids damage to nervous system. Read the rest of this entry »
