Can diabetes cause heart disease?

Diabetes can lead to heart disease mainly related to the patient's blood sugar control.

If diabetes patients after treatment good blood sugar control, may not lead to heart disease. If diabetes patients diagnosed after not timely adjustment of living habits, not timely use of drug treatment, blood sugar continues to be higher than normal, it may lead to heart disease, because long-term high blood sugar state will lead to pathological changes in the heart and blood vessels, such as arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and other changes, thus increasing the risk of heart disease.
