How odes diabetes affect heart disease?

Diabetes by itself leads to blood vessels - also the blood vessels around the heart - becoming less fexible and narrower. Moreover diabetes patients often suffer from high blood pressure and/or a high cholestorol level, which can be a lethal combination since high cholestorol will further narrow the blood vessels around the heart. That will lead to the heart not getting enough blood and oxygen to function properly. A bypass operation then often become necessary. Diabetes patients therefore get medication to lower the blood pressure, get the cholesterol level down and make the blood thinner. In the US, losing weight is usually also highly recommended.
