Yes, it is.
Diabetes will increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, especially type 2 diabetes. The reasons are simple and extensive, including:
Hypertension.
At first, high blood pressure is a main risk factor for the cardiovascular disease. This is true. If you have both hypertension and diabetes, which is a common combination for many people nowadays, your risk for the CAD will double.
Obesity.
Obesity will cause you high levels of glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol, making various diseases possible. If you are overweight, make a diet and exercise plan for weight loss as soon as possible
Unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Unhealthy levels here mean high bad cholesterol, low good cholesterol, and high triglycerides. If these three conditions happen at one time, you maybe get the premature coronary heart disease.
Physical inactivity.
This is obvious that exercise in daily life plays an important role in bettering your health. If it is not enough, you may get some diseases or disorders instead.
