People with diabetes have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
Managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, staying active, and not smoking all protect your heart. Your doctor may recommend medications to lower cardiovascular risk.
Pin Tip
Know your numbers for blood pressure and cholesterol, not just blood sugar.
Work With Your Care Team
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diabetes care is personal, so follow the targets, medications, and meal plan set by your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian.
Know the Emergency Signs
Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.
Quick Reminder
Keep your diabetes supplies, snacks, and emergency contact information together in one easy to grab kit.
