If You Are Diabetic Protect Your Heart

Dear Reader,

Diabetics take note - heart disease is a serious threat to your life. If you have diabetes, or even higher than normal blood sugar readings, you need to be aware of the potential risk to your heart according to endocrinologist Leann Olansky, MD from the Cleveland Clinic. If your only heart health risk factor is type 2 diabetes, the chances of you experiencing heart failure are two fold for men, three (or even four) fold for women based on research conducted at UC Davis and appearing online in the journal Nature. Those are some serious numbers. Numbers that should get your attention.

Doctors know that heat disease is fairly common in the general population, but the risk is four times bigger for those with diabetes, with estimates from the American Heart Association having at least 65% of those diagnosed with diabetes dying from heart disease or stroke. This is why this area is of such keen interest to researchers.

So although the link between diabetes and heart failure is no surprise to experts, the reasons for the connection have remained a mystery, until now. The team from UC Davis Health Systems conducted detailed molecular experiments in both rat and human proteins and tissues and uncovered a biological pathway that's activated when blood sugar levels are at a moderate to high level. This interaction brings on irregular heartbeats (known as cardiac arrhythmia) that have been associated with heart failure and sudden death due to cardiac events.

Researchers are hopeful that this discovery might lead to new treatments for diabetic cardiovascular disease. There may also be therapies to deal with glucose toxicity in other tissues, like the retina, the nervous system and kidneys.

If You Are Diabetic Protect Your Heart Continued...

In the meantime, Dr. Olansky cautions not to focus solely on elevated blood sugar, as this is only one part of the heart disease link. Watching your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers (high triglycerides and low HDL, good cholesterol) is also important, as these can be markers for metabolic syndrome. High blood pressure is especially dangerous in terms of higher risk of heart attack.

The key for diabetics is to work with your doctor to keep your glucose (and other) numbers in the target range for you. Much of this depends on how well you are taking care of yourself, following a diet suited to your diabetes. A heart healthy diet is usually a good choice for diabetes too, so limit the foods you know are loaded with unhealthy fats and cholesterol, limit solid fats and processed meat, sweets and other foods. Choose instead lean proteins, fish, fresh fruits and veggies, low fat (or non fat) dairy and unsaturated fats.

If you've recently been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, often a precursor to full blown diabetes, the news may be just the wake up call you needed - a chance to take control of your health before a condition like diabetes strikes. Diet, regular exercise and taking any medications your doctor prescribes are all key to reversing course and getting your body back to a healthy state, and in the safe zone in terms of heart attack risk.

To your good health,

Kirsten Whittaker
