Diabetes clearly increases the risk of one of various cardiovascular disorders, including heart attacks, hypertension, or stroke. To reduce the risk of heart disease, doctors will usually give medicine to restore the abnormal levels of blood fats.
Unfortunately, recent studies show drug therapy to control blood pressure and lower blood sugar does not help prevent cardiovascular disease. In fact, drug therapy in some cases cause side effects.
A decade ago, health officials in the United States conducted three studies to see whether the three types of intensive therapy to lower blood sugar, blood pressure or blood fats effective for preventing heart attacks and strokes in diabetics (diabetes).
A study of the blood sugar was stopped two years ago when researchers look at blood sugar control treatment was not much effect. However, two studies are in progress.
In studies of blood fats (triglycerides) which made the researchers from Columbia University and 5500 diabetes involves the risk factors also have other heart disease, namely hypertension and high cholesterol.
All the respondents received statins, cholesterol-lowering medication. Half of the respondents have triglyceride-lowering drugs and the rest a dummy drug. Five years later the entire group of respondents known to have the incidence of stroke, heart attack and the same. This means that drug therapy does not help much.
From the results of research, proven therapies that incentives by drug-oatan not able to reduce the incidence of heart attacks, although able to prevent a stroke. However, experts do not recommend that the diabetes to stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
So what to do with the diabetes? Stay focused on diet and healthy lifestyle and keep trying medications doctors recommended to reduce the risk of disease. Dr.Clyde according to Yancy, a cardiologist and president of the American Heart Association.
For people with diabetes, are advised to eat a varied diet in order to achieve a balance between carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Some have diabetes can control their blood sugar by eating only three meals a day and avoid sweet foods. While the rest need a strict diet.
To reduce the risk of heart disease, do the exercise because it increases blood flow through blood vessels smaller and increase the efficiency of heart pumping power.
