Type 2 diabetes and heart disease are closely related

As one of the most insidious and destructive maladies known to man, diabetes starts as a painless, invisible, imperceptible disease. In itself, diabetes is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. The damage comes when this starts to irreparably impair the function of organs all over the body.
In its wasting path, diabetes attacks mainly the kidneys, eyes and nervous system, due to damage to the small blood vessels, and the cardiovascular system, due to the damage to the large blood vessels (arteries).
