Type 2 diabetes increases cardiovascular risk. A good glucose value is important, but by itself it does not cover all the factors that affect the heart.
Care includes blood pressure, lipids, kidney function, smoking, movement and selection of appropriate treatment. The plan is formulated together with the doctors who follow you.
Cardiac evaluation and tests are selected based on history and symptoms. Not every asymptomatic person with diabetes needs the same set of tests.
The information is general and is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Do not change your treatment without instructions. For urgent symptoms call 112 or 166.
